Researcher Spotlight: Dr. David Lodge

This month, we interviewed David Lodge, one of the world's leading invasive species experts with a long history of collaborations to advance science into the public policy arena.

Embracing change in policy with a changing climate

Bradley et al. (2023) lay out ideas for better integration of invasive species and climate change policies and practices

Researcher Spotlight: Dr. Andrew Liebhold

This month, we interviewed Dr. Andrew liebhold, a research entomologist with the U.S. Forest Service's Northern Research Station with over three decades of experience studying invasion ecology of major forest invasives.

Missed signals: Invasive species noise disrupts native species communication

Invasive species vocalizations may be a significant avenue for competition among species. This thought-provoking article gives a glimpse into the potential effects of invasive species disrupting a soundscape.

Researcher Spotlight: Dr. Steve Grodsky

This month, we interviewed Dr. Steve Grodsky at Cornell University who specializes in the emerging field of energy ecology — the study of interactions among energy development, ecosystems, and people.

Researcher Spotlight: Dr. Annette Evans

This month, we interviewed Dr. Annette Evans, a postdoctoral researcher at UMass Amherst/Northeast Climate Adaptation Science Center, whose work combines invasion ecology and climate change to inform land management by modeling abundance and distributions of invasive plants.

Teasing apart invasive worm impacts on native species

Can invasive worms serve as food for native species? How do they alter leaf litter microhabitat? New research offers insight into the potential effects and trophic interactions of jumping worms (Amynthas spp.) and native reptiles and amphibians.

Researcher Spotlight: Dr. Andrew Newhouse

This month, we interviewed Dr. Andrew Newhouse, Assistant Director of the American Chestnut Research & Restoration Project for an update on the latest research and outlook on chestnut blight.
