Global Invasive Species Team listserve digest #116 Fri May 02 2003 - 16:07:16 PDT --CONTENTS-- 1. Impacts of Invasives PPT online (Global) 2. Kochia prostrata (Utah, USA) 3. Temporary change in listserve operations (Global) --------------------------------------- 1. Impacts of Invasives PPT online (Global) From: Barry Rice (bamrice(at)ucdavis.edu) In a mighty WIST group effort, Tunyalee Martin and I have worked with John Randall to adapt a fine PowerPoint presentation for distribution. This presentation is about the impacts of invasive species, and why managing them is important. We have online versions suitable for LCD projectors, for burning onto slides, and even a webified version so you can preview it. All versions are fully documented with notes to help you in your presentations. Soon we will also be posting a bibliography containing all the publications cited in the presentations. (Oh yes, in addition to being compelling, this presentation is well grounded in science!) Go to our home page (http://tncweeds.ucdavis.edu) for the link to these resources. Beware, PowerPoint files are huge, and these presentations are no exception. You may wish to download them during off-hours, in the stealth of night, to speed your download speed. Tell your friends; make this presentation "the one that gets used." --------------------------------------- 2. Kochia prostrata (Utah, USA) From: Susan Bellagamba (sbellagamba(at)tnc.org) I am looking for information about Kochia prostrata. Our NRSC agent promotes reseeding with this species and the USFS is considering using it, even if it is a non-native. However, I have heard that is invasive and not really preferred by cattle. Does anyone know of any studies about Kochia prostrata? --------------------------------------- 3. Temporary change in listserve operations (Global) From: Barry Rice (bamrice(at)ucdavis.edu) For the next few weeks, I will be on vacation, trying to get killed by alligators, lightning, and cottonmouths in Okefenokee Swamp (do I know how to have a romantic honeymoon, or what?). John Randall (jarandall(at)ucdavis.edu) will be the point person for the listserve in the meantime. Send your listserve postings to him. I apologize for not being able to get all the backlogged listserve postings out in this message---expect them in a listserve digest next week. Later, I'm out of here! |
