The theory is probably the most important parts of these presentations. I define native plants as non-domesticated and non-hybridized based on ecological utility in the chestnuts presentation. In the Spotted Lanternfly presentation I introduce the word "naive" to describe introduced non-native organisms due to their lack of co-evolution in the local ecology. I mention that regardless of a population size, the Founder Effect is important and may be the weakness which needs exploring.</div><div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> Richard Gardner</div></span><br></div></div></body></html>
