<div dir="ltr">Thank you, Jim.<div><br></div><div>This is helpful, although it focuses on non-native plants rather than invasive ones, per se. (Yes, I know that invasives are a subset of non-native plants!) I'm happy to have this, in any case, as I had not yet read it. And of course this issue is an important one. I just happen to have a specific information need at the moment.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Mar 7, 2019 at 6:21 PM Jim Hurley <<a href="mailto:jehurley@mindspring.com">jehurley@mindspring.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="font-size:13px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,sans-serif">Here ya go Susan.

<br><br><div dir="ltr">Rick, can you by any chance point to specific studies that Dr. Tallamy has done? I am aware of his work on the relationship between native plants and Lepidoptera (whose caterpillars are eaten by birds), but I'm not aware of his work on the impacts of invasive plants on birds. Thank you!</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Mar 7, 2019 at 6:05 PM Richard Johnstone <<a href="mailto:ivmpartners@gmail.com" target="_blank">ivmpartners@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I'm not sure about game species, but Dr. Doug Tallamy, UD, has great research on the effects on native birds.<div>Rick</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Mar 7, 2019 at 5:16 PM Susan Gitlin <<a href="mailto:susan.mclaughlin@alumni.stanford.edu" target="_blank">susan.mclaughlin@alumni.stanford.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi. Would any of you happen to have written or otherwise know of articles regarding net actual or potential impacts of invasive plants on Virginia game species? I say "net" because many people will argue, and rightfully, that plants like <i>Elaeagnus umbellata </i>are a food source for wildlife. The impacts on biodiversity and reductions in native sources of food may be less obvious in the shorter term. I am wondering to what degree the spread of invasive plants has or may impact hunting in Virginia or nearby states over the long term. Can you suggest any sources of information?<div><br></div><div>Thank you!</div><div><br></div><div>--Susan Gitlin</div></div>
