[MAIPC] Intriguing new research: Coevolution between invasive and native species

[Nathan Hartshorne]

" He explained that removing invasive species and replanting natives often
results in failure but replacing invasive species with native plants from
an area where the plants have had time to adapt to the invader could be
more effective. Rather than replanting clearweed from a recently invaded
site in Michigan, for example, land managers could use plants from New York
that are more likely to be resistant to garlic mustard."

It certainly gives us a lot to think about in terms of wildlife
management.  At the same time, we wouldn't want to shrink the genetics of a
species, but there might be a balance.
