     Our lab focuses on the ecology and management of invasive plants in both terrestrial and aquatic habitats.Specifically we are interested in why exotic plants are invasive in their novel areas, what their impacts on the invaded ecosystem are, and how to suppress their populations below damage levels.

 

Currently we are working on the following aspects:

  • Interactions of invasive plants and herbivores
  • Genetic difference and gene flow in invasive plants
  • Biological control of invasive plants and its impact on ecosystem

 

                                              

  • Interactions of alligator weed (Alternanthera philoxeroides) and introduced and native natural enemies
  • Impact of biological control of alligator weed on ecosystem
  • Distribution, spread of Canada goldenrod (Solidago canadensis) and broadleaf fleabane (Conyza sumatrensis), and their impacts on ecosystem
  • Biological control of Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica) and mile-a-minute (Polygonum perfoliatum)
  • Biological control of tallow (Triadica sebifera) and hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata)
  • Biological control of Himalayan rubus (Rubus ellipiticus)
