The North American Invasive Species Management Association’s 4th Annual Weed Biocontrol Summit will be held virtually on December 7, 2023, from 11:00 am – 3:00 pm CST. The Biocontrol Summit communicates the latest in classical weed biocontrol research to North American invasive plant managers and educators and aims to connect researchers to on-the-ground practitioners. This […]
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.

In September 2023, the Idaho State Department of Agriculture confirmed the presence of quagga mussel in the Mid-Snake River near Twin Falls.
Washington D.C.www.nisaw.org National Invasive Species Awareness Week (NISAW) is an international event to raise awareness about invasive species, the threat that they pose, and what can be done to prevent their spread. NISAW is coordinated by The North American Invasive Species Management Association (NAISMA). To learn more and participate, visit www.nisaw.org.
Presented by James English, Renee Bellinger, Diane Waller, Seth Munson, Amy Yackel Adams, Kristen Hart, and Kurt Kowalski with the U.S Geological Survey
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.

Please join members of the Federal Interagency Committee for the Management of Noxious and Exotic Weeds (FICMNEW) to learn more about the organization, hear highlights from 2023, get a preview of upcoming plans, and provide input on future federal coordination needs regarding invasive plant research and management. Agenda:
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 […]
Biodiversity in Focus: A Status Report on North American Species and Ecosystems at Risk presented by Regan Smyth Biodiversity loss is recognized by the World Economic Forum as one the greatest global risks, threatening not just the persistence of at-risk species and health of ecological communities but also the people who depend upon them.
