Simulating an Invasion! Scientists take a look at overland transport of Eurasian watermilfoil
The word “invasion” strikes fear in the minds of many, envisioning occupation by foreign entities bent on plunder and destruction. An invasion, in fact, is the aggressive entry of an outside force to occupy the space of another. In aquatic systems of the northern United States, Eurasian watermilfoil (EWM) fits the bill of an invader to a T.

An inch per day? Scientists’ investigation sheds light on invasive submersed plant growth potential
We’ve all heard horror stories of invasive submersed aquatic plants expeditiously expanding across a water body in what seems like a matter of days. Many of us have likely even seen this with our own eyes. Two of the most well known invaders for their seemingly prolific expansion are Hydrilla and Eurasian watermilfoil (EWM). (more…)
