Neonicotinoids have been linked in some studies to declining pollinator population, but they are also a key tool in protecting ash trees from the invasive emerald ash borer.
Low value native species like dagaa are on the rise against dwindling stocks of high-value species like the Nile perch.
A new documentary about invasive species in the Great Lakes was a labor of love for a husband-and-wife team.
These invaders have the power to alter entire ecosystems. The good news? They may not threaten the climate as some studies previously indicated.
Removing the plants also removes excess nutrients that can be applied directly to crops as fertilizer.
Lake Huron’s whitefish has seen noticeable declines in their population. A recent study out of Ontario argues that invasive zebra and quagga mussels have contributed significantly to this decline, harming profitable fisheries
Michigan Tech researchers are exploring new ways to combine technology and nature to fight invasive species in the Great Lakes.
Representatives from each region met recently to discuss invasive species, overfishing, tourism and fisheries management
The emerald ash borer has killed big trees and plenty of them. And while forests are unlikely to recover those numbers, experts say that when big trees die, insect numbers drop. That gives at least a chance of survival for new seedlings in pure stands of ash where other trees cannot take over.
Study shows they are aware of the threat of aquatic invasive species, but they need the weapons to battle them.
