A major tool in the fight against invasive species is the Report INvasive website, hosted by Purdue College of Agriculture and the Indiana Invasive Species Council. The website includes several ways that people can report invasive species, including a smartphone app from the Great Lakes Early Detection Network. “There are not that many specialists and experts covering the state,” Sadof said. “When there are concerned citizens reporting, however, we have many more eyes and a better chance of detecting and eradicating a harmful species early.”

Research led by Regional Invasive Species and Climate Change (RISCC) team members Eve Beaury and Emily Fusco evaluates the current landscape of invasive plant regulations across U.S.states. We've got a lot of room for improvement - especially in addressing the need to prohibit range-shifting invasive plants before they arrive. As plants continue to move north driven by climate change, the number of invasives will only increase. Unfortunately, inconsistent regulations that vary from state to state means that invasive plants have an edge on our attempts to control them. However, new research from the University of Massachusetts Amherst recently published in the Journal of Applied Ecology (requires login 🔒) suggests that we already have an answer in hand – communication.
