And just like that, the most special place to me is gone. I can’t believe it.

HUGE economic impacts of #invasivespecies, and I’d guess this is still an underestimate because it can be so difficult to figure out all the impacts on other systems.
Anthony Ricciardi@EcoInvasions
Quote: "From 1980 to 2019, financial losses due to invasive alien species amounted to $1,208 billion (US), compared to nearly $1,914 billion in losses caused by storms, $1,139 billion attributed to earthquakes and $1,120 billion due to floods." phys.org/news/2023-04-b…

New paper out in Bioscience -- we argue that failing to incorporate #climatechange into #invasivespecies policy is a missed opportunity to be proactive about future threats

@evecologist YES!!! Forest Service Ecologists sometimes use historical range of variability to inform a "desired future condition", but if the presence of invasive species is ignored, the desired future condition will be unattainable.

The Oregon Interagency Noxious Weed Symposium starts today! Fantastic information on invasive plant management in the PNW. tinyurl.com/mrxwb8s8

@ek_invasives But, hey, it includes accurate information on consequences, and they are indeed truly scary, so, I think its a good thing!

It’s true, I hate those trees.
But we also talked about running crustaceans and basic human decency, so to say it was a wide ranging discussion is a bit of an understatement.

Early Detection & Rapid Response (EDRR) is a management approach that focuses on finding and removing invasive species before they cause harm.
These species are treated differently because they spread quickly or change the composition of an ecosystem.

Happy to be featured in a #INTERNATIONALDAYOFWOMENINSCIENCE post for the Forest Service! Invasive plants are bad for wildlife habitat!
Forest Service NW@ForestServiceNW
Shawna Bautista loved animals, camping & science as a kid. When she found out that “Wildlife Biologist” was a job, she knew that was what she wanted to be. She's been working to control invasive species to protect wildlife habitat since 1984. #INTERNATIONALDAYOFWOMENINSCIENCE

A favorite host of spotted lanternfly is Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima). Both OR and WA are asking citizens to report tree of heaven. tinyurl.com/pacnhzjy

Washington Invasive Species Council@WAinvasives
Scientists estimate that spotted lanternfly could cost the agricultural industry more than $3 billion dollars in damages annually. In addition, this invasive pest could cause irreversible damage to the environment, including trees shading streams, urban street trees and more.
