Plenary: Addressing invasive species and climate change through translational research and partnerships
Carrie Brown-Lima (NY Invasive Species Research Institute) gives an overview of Northeast Regional Invasive Species & Climate Change (RISCC) Management Network activities over the last five years at the 2021 RISCC Symposium.
Introducing Three New RISCC Networks
North Central: Chelsea Nagy's brief overview of goals of the North Central RISCC Network.
Northwest: Rachel Gregg's brief overview of Northwest RISCC Network activities.
Pacific Islands: Jeff Burgett brief overview of Pacific Islands RISCC Network activities.
Presentation Session 1: Range Shifters and Sleeper Species
Nuisance Natives: Guidelines for Assessing Range Shifters
Toni Lyn Morelli (USGS NE Climate Adaptation Science Center) discusses risks posed by range shifting native and non-native species.
Forest pests and their management in the Anthropocene
Matt Ayres (Dartmouth College) discusses combined risks of southern pine beetle and climate warming.
Presentation Session 2: Treatment Strategies and Efficacy in a Changing Climate
Host Overwintering Phenology and Climate Change Influence the Establishment of Tetrastichus planipennisi, a Larval Parasitoid of the Emerald Ash Borer
Juli Gould (USDA) discusses how climate change could interact with Emerald Ash Borer biocontrol agents.
Climate change exacerbates the damage of invasive weed species through reduced herbicide efficacy
Maor Matrzafi (Agricultural Research Organization, Volcani Center) discusses herbicide efficacy on crop weeds in a warmer and higher CO2 world.
Interactions between invasive species and its biocontrol agent alter ecological and evolutionary responses to climate change
Yan Sun (University of Fribourg) discusses interactions between climate change and biocontrol of Ambrosia artemisiifolia (common ragweed).
Workshop 1: Building Proactive Weed Risk Assessments
Introduction (partially truncated) to the weed risk assessment workshop at the 2021 RISCC Symposium. Speakers Emily Fusco, Deah Lieurance, and Bethany Bradley discuss ways to make invasive species risk assessments more climate smart.
Workshop 2: Exploring Resilience in Native Habitats
Introduction and summary report-backs from the resilience workshop at the 2021 RISCC Symposium. Workshop led by Eve Beaury, Bianca Lopez, and Nancy Olmstead.
Manager Perspectives: Successes and Lessons Learned in Managing Invasive Species in a Changing Climate
Lightning talks about ways climate change is interacting with invasive species management presented at the 2021 RISCC Symposium. Speakers are David Wong, Brian Colleran, Nina Coleman, Karen Lombard, Andrew Zepp, and Terri Hogan. The lightning talks conclude with a panel discussion.
Closing Remarks
Toni Lyn Morelli closes the 2021 RISCC Symposium with an overview of the topics discussed at the conference.
