Really excited to see this paper finally out! It was a full lab field trip to re-sample an experiment we started in 2003. Replacement of #Phalaris arundinacea with swamp forest is underway. Three cheers for long-term data!
Journal of Applied Ecology@JAppliedEcology

Spraying glyphosate (late fall), then planting bareroot woody species at high densities (early spring) converts reed canarygrass field to young swamp forest 🌱 This breaks feedbacks and jumpstarts stalled succession from #invasive species dominance! 📈 🔗doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

Just read this great article by @mcewanlab on Callery Pear on the Conversation (thanks google news feed!). Really nice overview of this invasive species introduced broadly by the landscaping industry and now spreading to natural areas in our region!

@mas5050 @lflory ...meaning the reader has to be REALLY discerning to pick up on such a subtle distinction, which is critically important for the paper's argument overall

@mas5050 @lflory The big problem I see here is that although the text itself is carefully worded, the use of supporting references is not - leading to references specifically focused on invasive non-natives when the comment in text refers to non-natives more broadly.

UGH. You've got to be kidding me. This paper is simply an expansion of the Don't Judge Species paper, which I use on day 1 of my bio inv class as an example of the lack of understanding of the definition of invasive species and how they are prioritized for management 1/n

Last point - IMO (Steve here) Columbus is a great city (no longer a "cow town") and our dept is really collegial and supportive, particularly for junior faculty. I feel fortunate to have landed here and see great things ahead for future colleagues!!

Really interesting review on what motivates people to volunteer for invasive species control/management projects! Complete with suggestions for running such groups effectively. Great read!
Ana Anđelković@AnaAndelkovic

Knowing the importance of #CitizenScience in the study and management of #BiologicalInvasions, we analyzed and discussed the #motivations guiding #volunteers to engage in #InvasiveAlienSpecies monitoring and control. Results of @aliencsi1 #COST project neobiota.pensoft.net/article/79636/

European starlings steal cattle feed, consume crops and have even brought down an airplane. But the story of how they became a North American pest has been debunked. nyti.ms/3uscKos
