Following fire ants on the march
Landscape corridors can aid in fire ant spread, but the effects are transient, 91³Ô¹ÏÍø researcher Julian Resasco shows
As habitat loss and fragmentation continues, many in the scientific community view landscape corridors as important for connecting habitat fragments to maintain biodiversity.
And yet, might those same landscape corridors make it easier for invasive species to spread and cause greater harm to biodiversity?
It’s a question Julian Resasco, an assistant professor in the University of Colorado Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, has been investigating for more than a decade. He now has an answer for one particular invasive spec
