Webinar: Reviewing the Impacts of Climate Change on Biological Control Agents: Identifying Research Priorities and Knowledge Gaps

Biocontrol, the practice of using one species (biocontrol agents) to control another (target pest) is an important management tool. Conservation, augmentative, and classical/importation biocontrol have all been successfully used to reduce target pest species in agriculture and natural systems. Climate change may influence both well-established and new biocontrol relationships, yet the effects of climate change […]

Webinar: Utilizing Invasive Plants as a Medium for Conservation Artwork

Jane Kramer's projects are created with a conceptual approach and are focused on environmental and social issues. Her ongoing project, Foreshadowing: Endangered and Threatened Plant Species, began upon selection into the Art from the Lakes program and with funding, in part, from Michigan Nature Association.

Webinar: Decades-Long Partnership Successfully Eradicates Destructive Nutria Rodents from Maryland

Nutria are invasive, semi-aquatic, South American rodents first released into Dorchester County, Maryland in 1943. Since their release, nutria have destroyed thousands of acres of wetlands through their destructive feeding habitats. A concerted effort to eradicate nutria in Maryland began in 2002 following a two year pilot project to determine if nutria could be eradicated […]

Webinar: Protecting Threatened and Endangered Species from Pesticides

When EPA registers a pesticide or reevaluates it in registration review, the Agency has a responsibility under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) to ensure that the pesticide registrations do not jeopardize the continued existence of federally threatened or endangered (listed) species or adversely modify their designated critical habitats.

NISAW Webinar: The Invasive Species Language Workshop

Communicating about invasive species can get complicated! On February 27-28, in partnership with NAISMA for National Invasive Species Awareness Week (NISAW), Sea Grant is proud to present The Invasive Species Language Workshop, bringing together invasive species researchers and science communication professionals to share best practices for communicating about biological invasions to scientists, stakeholders, and the public.

NISAW Webinar: Opportunities and Challenges for Preventing the Next Plant Invasion

In the past 50 years, the number of non-native species introduced outside their native range has doubled, leading to substantial negative ecological and socioeconomic impacts. This is a problem that will persist as species introductions continue to rise and impacts are intensified by climate change and other drivers of change. It is well-established that economic […]
