Exemplar for why rush to lethal management of "invasive" animals requires enormous caution: "Reptiles on a Mexican island were considered an invasive species, but DNA evidence proves they beat humans to the island by hundreds of thousands of years." #conservation #reptile #invasivespecies #maybenot

A young American bullfrog rests on a rural road in SW Oregon. Juvenile bullfrogs often disperse in the fall in search of new ponds or wetlands. Bullfrogs are an #invasivespecies in #Oregon, where they threaten native amphibians and aquatic life #wildlifephotography #photography

Extreme native biodiversity vs a monoculture of a non-native invasive species. If you don't kill cogon grass immediately, the first image turns into the second very quickly. These two areas are next to each other, the landowners won't do anything about it. #InvasiveSpecies #Mississippi

A study analyzing over 500,000 tweets from 2006 to 2021 found that public discourse on invasive species heavily favors charismatic animals over ecologically harmful plants.

#FirewoodMonth continues with a webinar tomorrow (Oct. 28, 4 p.m. EST) on the goldspotted oak borer and its spread through firewood. Presented by Joelene Tamm, Natural Resources Director for the LA Jolla Band of Luiseño Indians.

65% of people use firewood: 53% for home heating, 49% for recreation, and many for both. Transporting firewood can spread pests. Trees in all 50 states and 10 Canadian provinces are at risk of attack by an invasive species if people move infested or diseased firewood. Buy it where you burn it.

As leaves begin to fall, bark "blonding" becomes increasingly visible. Look for these marks from woodpeckers that often indicate the presence of #EmeraldAshBorer.

Learn more about woodpeckers and EAB biocontrol methods here: www.emeraldashborer.info/biological-c...
#InvasiveSpecies #Entomology 🧪🌍🍁
Signs of EAB: Woodpecker Activity. Native woodpeckers are the primary predators of emerald ash borer (EAB) in North America and are the most important source of EAB biological control. Patches of light-colored bark on upper portions of ash trees are likely locations where woodpeckers have recently peeled away bark to remove EAB larvae. "Blonding" is often the first evidence that EAB is present in a local area.
