New Regulations Proposed by U.S. Department of Agriculture to Help Stem the Tide of Non-Native Pests (Oct 15, 2009)
The Nature Conservancy.
The Nature Conservancy, working with industry partners and scientists, is supporting revamped regulations proposed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to improve its ongoing efforts to block non-native insects and diseases from entering the country and protect American homeowners, businesses, agriculture and native trees. The Nature Conservancy provides information on how to prevent the introduction and spread of invasive foreign pests and diseases.

Shaping the Future of America's Outdoor Resources (Oct 6, 2009)
Resources for the Future.
The new study The State of the Great Outdoors: America's Parks, Public Lands, and Recreation Resources (2009; PDF | 11. 2 MB), looks at the status of America's outdoor resources, the demand for recreation, and the financing of conservation, parks, and open space. The issues of concern include climate change. Invasive species present another problem that can cause deterioration in the quality of outdoor resources. Moreover, diversion of financial resources to deal with invasive species may end up creating problems at visitor centers, campgrounds, picnic areas, and a host of other public facilities.

Report Documents the Risks of Giant Invasive Snakes in the U.S. (Oct 13, 2009)
DOI. United States Geological Survey.
Five giant non-native snake species would pose high risks to the health of ecosystems in the United States should they become established here, according to a USGS report released. The report details the risks of nine non-native boa, anaconda and python species that are invasive or potentially invasive in the U.S. Because all nine species share characteristics associated with greater risks, none was found to be a low ecological risk. Two of these species are documented as reproducing in the wild in South Florida, with population estimates for Burmese pythons in the tens of thousands.

In Search of Wildlife-friendly Biofuels: Are Native Prairie Plants the Answer? (Oct 1, 2009)
Michigan Technological University.
In the new study Bioenergy and Wildlife: Threats and Opportunities for Grassland Conservation, (Abstract - BioScience, Oct 2009) the authors analyze the impacts on wildlife of the burgeoning conversion of grasslands to corn for ethanol production. One potential solution to the threat on wildlife habitat is using diverse native prairie plants to produce bioenergy instead of a single agricultural crop like corn.

Genome of Irish potato famine pathogen decoded (Sep 9, 2009)
Broad Institute.
A large international research team has decoded the genome of the notorious organism that triggered the Irish potato famine in the mid-19th century and now threatens this season's tomato and potato crops across much of the U.S. Phytophthora infestans, also known as the late blight pathogen, remains a major threat to world food security. This sequencing is a major breakthrough that will accelerate the design of more sustainable control strategies to combat one of the most challenging pathogens threatening global food security.

Study Finds One-Time Herbicide Use Decreased Native Plants, May Have Increased Invasive Plants (Sep 29, 2009)
Montana State University.
A new study shows that the application of a herbicide on the invasive weed leafy spurge 16 years ago had reduced the level of native wildflowers -- including Missouri goldenrod and yarrow and the targeted invasive weed (leafy spurge) had potentially increased. The study Control Effort Exacerbates Invasive-Species Problem is published in Ecological Applications (Jan 2009).

Across the Country, Invasive Pest Species Are Causing Problems (Sep 24, 2009)
National Pest Management Association.
Conservative estimates by the Smithsonian Institution put the number of known insect species found in the United States at more than 91,000 -- not including an additional 73,000 unidentified species. These numbers are likely to climb as increased international travel and shipping provide a means for foreign insects (invasive species), to more easily infiltrate the country. The National Pest Management Association urges vigilance against invasive species.

Invasive Species on the March: Variable Rates of Spread Set Current Limits to Predictability (Sep 17, 2009)
National Science Foundation.
In a paper published in this week's issue of the journal Science (see abstract; full access requires subscription), biologists report a previously unknown high variability in the rates of invasive species spread. Although more research is needed, the uncertainty the biologists found may place more species at risk in a changing climate: flora and fauna may not be able to march one step ahead of the pace of global warming.

Preventing Hurricane Havoc: Environmental Teams Tackle the Invasive Plants and Weeds that Impede Flood Control During Massive Storms (PDF | 94 KB) (Sep 14, 2009)
Weed Science Society of America.
If left unmanaged, invasive plants can promote flooding by jamming pumps and blocking water flow, following a massive storm. Environmental officials are using routine maintenance controls to prevent reoccurrence of the species, which include water hyacinth, water lettuce, hydrilla, and other fast-growing water plants.

Classifying Light Brown Apple Moth for Eradication, Quarantine Is Justifiable In Draft Response by APHIS to Petitioners (Sep 14, 2009)
National Academy of Sciences.
A new report from the National Research Council finds that the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is within its broad regulatory authority to classify California's invasive Light Brown Apple Moth as an "actionable" pest, which the agency asserted in a draft response document to two petitions questioning the classification.
