Invasive Species Science Update (No. 8)

Invasive Species Science Updates are designed to keep managers and other users up-to-date with recently completed and ongoing research by RMRS scientists, as well as highlight breaking news related to invasive species issues. The newsletter is produced by the RMRS Invasive Species Working Group (ISWG), which is a core group of scientists who volunteer to coordinate outreach of RMRS invasive species science to managers and the public through this newsletter, our website, and periodic white papers.In this and future issues of the newsletter we want to continue to recognize partnerships and emphasize their importance in addressing invasive species issues. Issue 8 of the newsletter highlights the importance of early detection and rapid response as applied to new invader incidents for meadow hawkweed, medusahead, and rush skeletonweed.
