| Regulation recommendations so that biofuel plants don’t become weeds Posted: 26 Mar 2013 10:32 AM PDT In the United States, only species listed on state or federal noxious weed lists are regulated, and those lists are often biased toward species that affect agricultural crops. Conversely, invasive plant council lists include species that affect natural landscapes but have no regulatory clout. After comparing the lists and how they are created, researchers have developed some suggestions on how to improve the regulation of all invasive plant species, including new biofuels plants.  |
| Hope for Galapagos wildlife threatened by marine invaders Posted: 26 Mar 2013 08:20 AM PDT Increasing tourism and the spread of marine invasive non-native species is threatening the unique plant and marine life around the Galapagos Islands.  |
| Lemur lookalikes are two new species, DNA says Posted: 26 Mar 2013 07:15 AM PDT Scientists have identified two new species of mouse lemur, the saucer-eyed, teacup-sized primates native to the African island of Madagascar.  |
| Homeowner groups can support native species in suburbia Posted: 25 Mar 2013 01:02 PM PDT Although it's known that home construction in suburban areas can have negative impacts on native plant and animals, a recent study suggests that well-managed development such as provided by homeowners associations can support native wildlife and promote species diversity.  |
