Invasive Species Symposium Set June 18-19, 2002 at UC Davis
Invasive Species Symposium
June 18-19, 2002
University of California, Davis
Davis, CA
What is an invasive species? What are the characteristics of organisms
that make them good invaders, and pests? What are the effects of
invasive species on our environment, political system, society,
and our economy?
These are questions that will be addressed in a two-day symposium
to be held at the University of California, Davis, on June 18-19,
2002. An international group of experts will come together to
present some of the latest thinking on invasive species. The meeting
is intended to bring together researchers and policy makers to share
ecological perspectives and management of invasives in agricultural
and natural systems. This conference will cast a broad net and delve
into environmental, political, sociological, and economic issues
that are normally ignored in discussions of impacts of pest and
genetic invasions.
The conference will include a discussion of vertebrate and invertebrate
pests, as well as weeds, pathogens, and insects.
