Theme: This conference will focus on: 1) incorporating a dynamic perspective
into invasion ecology and management; 2) developing specific mechanisms to
assemble and evaluate the needed datasets; and 3) fostering a collaborative
research-management approach wherein site-specific data reveal broad patterns,
which in turn yield management recommendations.
Poster Submissions: We are calling for abstracts for posters addressing one or
more of the following themes: a) invasive species management activities that
incorporate a dynamic aspect (e.g., climate change, natural enemy acquisition,
interactions of multiple invasive species); b) basic research on dynamic
aspects of invasions; c) invasive species
monitoring and database initiatives;
and d) collaborative undertakings between invasive species ecologists and
managers. The deadline for abstract submission is March 15, 2009. For
