• Invasive Species Common Names: Working Towards More Inclusive Invasive Species Education and Outreach

  Journal of Extension · 2024-01-01 · 1 citations

  articleOpen accessSenior author

  Invasive species harm natural and managed ecosystems. Awareness and management of these species depends on effective education and outreach. Traditional common names, including those with geographic references, for many invasive pests may perpetuate slanderous terms or stigmatize people from that place. To create more inclusive invasive species educational materials, the University of Minnesota Extension’s Invasive Species Community of Practice developed guidelines for selection of common names.…

• Mitigating invasive insect species: eradication, long-term management, and the importance of sampling and monitoring

  Burleigh Dodds series in agricultural science · 2023-04-25 · 1 citations

  book-chapter

  In this chapter, we introduce major concepts associated with the management of invasive insects. We then focus more deeply on eradication and long-term management, especially integrated pest management, describing common factors associated with successful programs and potential challenges of each strategy. Brief case studies are provided to illustrate applications of eradication and IPM to various invasive insects in different regions. Lastly, we summarize recent research and technology that hav…
