  1. A study found that MN lakes infested with the invasive zebra mussels and spiny water flea can reduce walleye growth by 12-14%, likely due to feeding on zooplankton and reducing food for young walleye. Pic: Eric Engbretson, USFWS,

  2. The invasive Asian tramp snail (Bradybaena similaris), normally eats plants, but was found eating coffee leaf rust in Puerto Rico! This opens possibilities of a biocontrol, but more evaluation is needed. Pic: P Seethapathy, TNAU,

  3. We added a new feature to ! If you log in and click on My EDDMapS there is a dashboard of the last 365 days of EDDMapS stats. Click on Dashboard (left side bar) then My Dashboard and these are YOUR stats! More stats and features will be added soon!

  4. has been updated! Have you seen our new look? All the maps and tools are still where you expect them to be, but we will continue to streamline functionality and add much requested features over the next few months. Keep an eye out as we update!

  5. Renting a lot of bees may not be required in some cropping situations. A pumpkin pollinators study found that majority of flower visitors included bumble bees (54%), honey bees (25%), and squash bees (18%). Pic: David Cappaert,

  6. Great tools need champions and teachers. Integrated Pest Management is a concept of combing compatible pest control strategies and communicators can help spread the word. Pic: J C. French Sr., Auburn, GA, Clemson and U of MO,

  7. Fivehook Bassia (Bassia hyssopifolia) is an invasive shrub that covers most of the western US. 2018 CA gull nest counts lowest number since 2004; steep declines since 2016 when it arrived. Pic: F & K Starr, Starr Environmental,

  8. Russian thistles are nonnative tumbleweeds reported in over half the US. Jan 1st, they covered a WA highway in piles up to 15 ft tall, trapping people in their cars. Pic: Forest & Kim Starr, Starr Environmental,

  9. Live in UT? Check your yard and make sure you don't have any myrtle spurge (Euphorbia myrsinites)! As of December 2019, this former landscape favorite was added to the UT noxious weed list. Pic: John Ruter, UGA,

  10. Areas seemingly beyond restoration can make a phenomenal comeback once invasive species are removed! In three years, the island went from brown to green and native animal populations increased. Pic: Caleb Slemmons, NEON,

  11. Think you can best Prof. Art Shapiro to find the first cabbage white this year in Sacramento, Solano, or Yolo county CA? Check out his beer for butterfly contest and his research on biological responses to climate change. Pic: A. Oommen, Bugwood

  12. Beach vitex, aka "kudzu of the coast," has invaded AL, GA, FL, SC, and NC coasts and chokes out native species. If you see it, report it to ! Learn more about it: Pic: R. Westbrooks, Invasive Plant Control, Inc., Bugwood

  13. Muscadines are a tasty treat that many may not know about! These grapes were long thought to be resistant to nematodes (tiny worms), but research is showing that may not be accurate. Pic: David Nance, USDA ARS,

  14. Researchers sometimes find things that seem obvious in retrospect. A study found that plants that "bounce back" quickly from disturbance in their native range can become invasive elsewhere. Pic: Leslie J. Mehrhoff, UConn,

  15. While not talked about as often, invasive animals are a nationwide issue. Rats, cats, and feral hogs are examples that are widespread and massively destructive to ecosystems where they gain footholds. Pic: Craig Hicks,

  16. Knowing how people benefit from urban is critical to planning, but challenging to measure & evaluate. scientists & partners compared crowdsourced from social media with semi-structured interview protocols.

    Figure 4 in new study shows distribution of recreation cultural ecosystem by data collection methods.

  17. Some species are very difficult to identify. Michigan State University is doing their part to help people trying to ID nonnative Southeast Asian Ambrosia Beetles with their new website. Pic: J.R. Baker & S.B. Bambara, NCSU,

  18. Sometimes the US is a source of invasives for other countries. Subspecies of Xylella fastidiosa infecting olives, almonds, etc. in Europe have likely been traced back to California. Pic: Mourad Louadfel, Homemade,

  19. In some cases, like the western corn rootworm, plant pests use the plant defenses against their enemies, like nematodes. And now, the nematodes are becoming immune to these stolen defenses! Pic: John Capinera, UF,

  20. Nonnative species can increase fire risk, even in riparian areas. Nonnative palms and giant reed in CA are being evaluated for removal to reduce wildfire risk. Pic: Patti Anderson, Division of Plant Industry,
