Research
to Support Integrated Management Systems
of Aquatic and Terrestrial Invasive Species
2008 Annual Report
(2009; PDF | 7.5 MB) Mississippi State University. Geosystems Research Institute.
The purpose of this project is to develop a cooperative agreement which will
promote and facilitate interaction and research that will support effective and
timely responses to invasive species posing threats to the ecosystems and native
species of the mid-South regions. This research will develop methods for early
detection and assessment of recently established invaders and outbreaks of established
invaders in new ecosystems, monitoring and modeling of established invaders,
and improved control and management. Primary emphasis is on invasive aquatic
plants and a pilot program for early
detection and monitoring of cactus moth.
