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.

Hot & hungry?
Today's research summary continues our biocontrol theme with an example of how warming temperatures may benefit biocontrol efficacy.

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.

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!

#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!
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.
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.
