EMAPi 2015 provides the opportunity to share findings and experiences — research, management, and policy — with professionals from around the world. A mid-conference field trip will give you first-hand experience with Hawaii’s plant invasions, while also allowing extensive opportunities for networking. For this international meeting, we are expecting to bring together ~ 300 active researchers, managers and policy makers. ... [Information of the supplier]
This conference discusses fundamental questions of evolution and ecology. It explores the use of model organisms amenable to experimental studies of evolution and ecology. It focuses on unicellular eukaryotic systems, but contains examples from other organisms. [Information of the supplier]
NeoFlora provides general information on: - What are neophytes / invasive species; - political and legal framework; - ecological basis; - consequences and threats of invasive species to conservation, economy and health; - evaluation of neophytes with regard to nature conservation; - potential measures. Furthermore, NeoFlora provides a handbook with portraits of 32 invasive plant species, as well as a forum where Your opinion and experience regarding these species is sought-after. ...

This site provides information on aquatic alien plants in Northrhine-Westphalia (including images). Only available in German language. [Editorial staff vifabio]
The National Invasive Species Information Center (NISIC) was established in 2005 at the National Agricultural Library to meet the information needs of users including the National Invasive Species Council (Council). This Web site serves as a reference gateway to information, organizations, and services about invasive species. ... [Information of the supplier]
DAISIE will deliver an Alien Species Gateway to act as a “one-stop-shop” for information on biological invasions in Europe. DAISIE addresses the need for a regional network of invasive alien species information. With direct access to national knowledge bases throughout Europe, those addressing the invasive alien species challenge will easily obtain data through DAISIE on which species are invasive or potentially invasive in particular habitats, and use this information in their planning efforts. ...

Die Pflanzengattung Ambrosia umfasst einige dutzend Arten, von denen eine Art, die Ambrosia artemisiifolia, als besonders allergieauslösend gilt. Wegen menschlicher Unachtsamkeit sowie durch den Klimawandel begünstigt, kann sie sich invasionsartig ausbreiten und stellt somit eine erhebliche Gefahr für die Gesundheit der Bevölkerung dar. Die winzigen Pollen der Ambrosia artemisiifolia gelten unter Allergologen als besonders aggressiv und können neben starken Allergien sogar Asthma auslösen. Sie zählen bereits zu den weltweithäufigsten Auslösern von Allergien. ... [Information des Anbieters]
This database of alien plants in Ireland contains detailed information on 716 alien plant taxa currently occurring in (semi-) natural habitats in Ireland (both the Republic and Northern Ireland). In a separate list, limited information is also given for 198 taxa with no post-1970 records. You can search by: (1) selecting one of the alien taxa, (2) creating a reduced species list by searching on family, invasive status, Irish vice-counties, and invasiveness elsewhere. As a result, you will get data on species identity, invasiveness and a series of biological and ecological species traits. ... [Information of the supplier]
Many invasive species, like Garlic Mustard (Alliaria petiolata), are threatening the world's natural resources, but the abundance of invasive species can vary dramatically over space and time. Scientists still do not have a good understanding of why this is so. Through large-scale sampling, scientists can identify areas that differ in the intensity of invasion and try to understand why these differences exist. We can also compare this to variation in the native range. This may be crucial to researching new methods of control, but a large project like this could cost millions of dollars and years of work. Through the use of a simple, standardized protocol, volunteers can help to generate valuable scientific data. Participating in this research does not require specialized training. ...

This website deals with all alien vascular plants ever recorded in Belgium (with emphasis on those recorded since 1950). It is important to stress that species included range from ephemeral aliens that were only recorded once to widely naturalised and noxious environmental or agricultural weeds (see Catalogue of neophytes in Belgium for definitions; available as a PDF version). Please note that this website is in progress. At present accounts for the following groups and/or families are available: Pteridophytes, Actinidiaceae, Apocynaceae (incl. Asclepiadaceae), Berberidaceae, Campanulaceae (incl. Lobeliaceae), Caprifoliaceae (incl. Dipsacaceae, Valerianaceae), Celastraceae, Convolvulaceae (incl. Cuscutaceae), Cornaceae (incl. Nyssaceae), Cyperaceae, Elaeagnaceae, Garryaceae, Grossulariaceae, Juglandaceae, Linderniaceae, Loasaceae, Phytolaccaceae, Smilacaceae, Tamaricaceae and Verbenaceae. New families will be added in due course. ... [Information of the supplier]
