Join us next month for the #NERISCC annual symposium! Free Feb 27&28!! A combo of presentations, panels, & networking cross habitats- terrestrial, marine, aquatic! Keynote talk by co-editor-in-chief of #BiologicalInvasions Laura Meyerson! Register here: cornell.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

This years @riscc_network annual symposium (zoom) has some awesome marine speakers! Ted Grosholz (UCDavis) Marissa McMahan (@ManometCenter), @HopeandSeaweed (Salve Regina), Andy Chang (@SERCinvasions), Katie O'Shaughnessy (Dauphin Island Sea Lab), Check them out below & register!

This week’s research summary begins a series on the effects of #climatechange & #bioinvasion on the management & restoration of #sandplain #grasslands, a regional biodiversity hotspot in the Northeast US. Keeping grasslands grassy in a changing climate risccnetwork.org/bois-et-al-202…

Join us tomorrow at the INAUGURAL International Invasive Species and Climate Change Conference. This conference is FREE and VIRTUAL. Register here: naisma.org/.../internatio… #climatechange #riscc #iisccc #CarbonFootprint

We also are giving out the 2023-2024 Community Action Award!! Nominate someone here docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Want to learn more? Register for our Dec. 14 (11am–12pm ET) Coffee Talk here: cornell.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

Check out our latest Management Challenge! In it, you'll find case studies and management implications from current evidence of climate change impacts on the survival, reproduction, and performance of biocontrol agents and target hosts. scholarworks.umass.edu/eco_ed_materia…

Want to learn more about how climate change affects biocontrol agents and their hosts? Register for our upcoming Out of Control coffee talk here: risccnetwork.org/presentations

Hot & hungry? Today's research summary continues our biocontrol theme with an example of how warming temperatures may benefit biocontrol efficacy. risccnetwork.org/lu-et-al-2013

@JLW_CISMA Upcoming coffee talk #2: On Dec. 14 (11am ET), we'll discuss our upcoming management challenge, 'Out of Control? The Effects of Climate Change on Biological Control Agents and their Target Hosts' Register here: cornell.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

Upcoming coffee talk #1: On Dec. 6 (11am ET), join us for a discussion with Shikha Singh of @JLW_CISMA on how to adapt local management actions and priorities in the face of climate change, using stiltgrass as a case study. Register here: cornell.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

Save the date! We're excited to announce our next Northeast RISCC Invasive Species & Climate Change Symposium will take place February 27–28, 2024 (11–2:40 pm both days), online via Zoom. Stay tuned for more details!

First in our new research summary series on the effects of climate change on biocontrol efficacy: Fizzing out—Increasing CO2 levels diminish biocontrol of invasive tropical soda apple. Stay tuned for the rest of the series + a new Management Challenge! risccnetwork.org/diaz-et-al-2012

#NAISMA2023 was a great success! We had a blast learning from our presenters, networking with colleagues & exploring Lincoln's unique habitat. We hope you will join us next year for NAISMA's 32nd Annual Conference in Missoula, MT - mark your calendars for Sept. 30-Oct. 3, 2024!

Key takeaway from Brendan Quirion & colleagues' 2021 paper: Insects & diseases reduced annual forest carbon sequestration capacity in the contiguous US by the equivalent of CO2 emissions from >10 million passenger vehicles driven for 1 year.

Our latest #RISCCResearchSummary does that by highlighting how forest pests & pathogens reduce carbon sequestration risccnetwork.org/quirion-et-al-…

Lesson from #NAISMA2023 keynote @DrOcean24: Connect invasive management priorities to societal and policy priorities by translating invasive species impacts in terms of their impacts on broader societal values.
