Abstract: NAISMA and our partners steward and implement international prevention programs, including PlayCleanGo®: Stop Invasive Species In Your Tracks® and Certified Weed Free Products (WFP). These well-established programs are aimed at […]
Managing invasive species is a costly, time and labor intensive process necessary for the restoration of natural ecosystems and the benefits they provide to the human communities surrounding them. While […]
Introduced plant pathogens threaten North American forests. Some arrived in the distant past: chestnut blight, white pine blister rust, beech bark disease, Dutch elm disease, butternut canker. Damaging introductions continue […]
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 […]
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.

In a perfect world, definitions of plant responses in the environment are treated as absolutes. Yet we acknowledge the genetic and environmental responses that phenotypes have during evolution, namely plasticity, pose difficulties in decision-making for land managers.
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.
