This symposium addresses one of the most serious, yet least appreciated, threats to biodiversity.
Invasive species affect virtually every watershed in North America.
Natural resource managers and fishery and aquatic scientists need to be equipped to meet the challenges and opportunities to provide solutions to problems of invasive species. The Session will include topics related to behavioral interactions between invaders and native fauna, invasion dynamics, problems associated with interbasin water transfers and ballast water discharge, and control methods and programs. Wednesday AM 1. Julie A. Thompson 8. Wednesday PM 1.
