NE Regional Invasive Species and Climate Change Network: Developing, synthesizing, and communicating climate-smart strategies to invasive species management.
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: https://t.co/vcd9FG75Py
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.

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.

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!
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.
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.
