  • eDNA in Estuaries

    • University of New Hampshire; DOC. NOAA. National Estuarine Research Reserve System. Science Collaborative.

    • How can eDNA support understanding and management of estuaries? Ten National Estuarine Research Reserves are helping answer that question.

  • eDNA Resources

    • Washington State University; DOD. Environmental Security Technology Certification Program; Legacy Resource Management Program.

    • This site was created with funding from the Department of Defense Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) and DoD Legacy Resource Management Program. It's currently managed by Washington State University with a mix of content that was created by WSU for the site as well as eDNA resources contributed by the eDNA research community.

  • Emerald Ash Borer Information Network - State Detection Table

    • Emerald Ash Borer Information Network.

    • View state/province, county and year emerald ash borer was detected.

  • Environmental DNA

    • Invasive Carp Regional Coordinating Committee.

    • Environmental DNA (eDNA) is the genetic material from a plant or animal that is found in the air, water or soil. Fish, such as invasive carp, release DNA into the environment in the form of skin cells, secretions, and feces. This DNA can be collected from water samples in the field and be used to indicate the potential presence of an individual species. eDNA testing is useful as a potential early indicator of invasive carp presence and was developed to improve monitoring of such aquatic invasive species.

  • EPPO Global Database - Tuta absoluta Distribution

    • European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization.

  • Eyes in the Field: Citizen Scientists

    • TexasInvasives.org.

    • The Invaders of Texas Program is an innovative campaign whereby volunteer "citizen scientists" are trained to detect the arrival and dispersal of invasive species in their own local areas. That information is delivered into a statewide mapping database and to those who can do something about it. The premise is simple. The more trained eyes watching for invasive species, the better our chances of lessening or avoiding damage to our native landscape.

  • ForWarn II - Satellite-Based Change Recognition and Tracking

    • ForWarn.

    • ForWarn is a satellite-based forest disturbance monitoring system for the conterminous United States. It delivers new forest change products every eight days and provides tools for attributing abnormalities to insects, disease, wildfire, storms, human development or unusual weather. Archived data provide disturbance tracking across all lands since 2000.

  • Giant Hogweed in Connecticut

    • University of Connecticut. Connecticut Invasive Plant Working Group.

  • Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF)

    • Global Biodiversity Information Facility.

    • The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) is an international network and data infrastructure funded by the world's governments and aimed at providing anyone, anywhere, open access to data about all types of life on Earth.

      Provides mapping functions for species globally. The GBIF network draws sources together through the use of data standards, such as Darwin Core, which forms the basis for the bulk of GBIF.org's index of hundreds of millions of species occurrence records. Publishers provide open access to their datasets using machine-readable Creative Commons license designations, allowing scientists, researchers, and others to apply the data in hundreds of peer-reviewed publications and policy papers each year. Many of these analyses—which cover topics from the impacts of climate change and the spread of invasive and alien pests to priorities for conservation and protected areas, food security and human health— would not be possible without this.

      Note: USGS's BISON (Biodiversity Information Serving Our Nation) which provided North American species occurrence data and maps moved away from the 10-year-old infrastructure of the previous BISON website (bison.usgs.gov) to a GBIF data portal for the U.S. provided by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). The new site became live on October 1, 2021, and the previous BISON website was be taken down on December 17, 2021.

  • Global Invasive Species Database (GISD)

    • IUCN. Species Survival Commission. Invasive Species Specialist Group.

    • The Global Invasive Species Database aims to increase awareness about invasive alien species and to facilitate effective prevention and management activities. The database focuses on invasive alien species that threaten native biodiversity and covers all taxonomic groups from micro-organisms to animals and plants in all ecosystems. Species information is either supplied by or reviewed by expert contributors from around the world. Provides distribution, life history, and impacts data for invasive species.

  • iMapInvasives: Sharing Information for Strategic Management

    • Nature Conservancy. iMapInvasives.

    • i is an invasive species reporting and data management tool that is on-line and map-based. The primary focus for iMapInvasives is to track invasive species locations and management efforts. iMapInvasives tools can be used by citizen scientists, land owners, natural resources managers, and others who are working to prevent, control, or manage invasive species.
      See also: The iMapInvasives Network is comprised of organizations that host the iMapInvasives Network database in their respective state or province.
