<div dir="ltr">Thanks for sharing this article. FYI: There's a book called Inheritors of the Earth that claims to be optimistic because nature might heal itself in a million years. It claims that conservation efforts are doomed to failure, so we should embrace the change. I wrote <a href="http://rdcu.be/HSal" target="_blank">a review</a> for Biological Invasions. <div><br></div><div>It would be strange to go to the trouble of replanting if one is assuming the garlic mustard will simply recolonize. We've had good luck at our preserve with removing garlic mustard before it goes to seed. We're basically playing the role we wish deer would play. Persistence furthers if one's means are in balance with the scope of the problem. Glad to hear, though, of evidence of some coevolution.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Steve</div><div>PrincetonNatureNotes.org</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Sep 3, 2021 at 9:15 AM Nathan Hartshorne <<a href="mailto:nshartshorne@gmail.com">nshartshorne@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">"

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."</span><div><span style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:"Merriweather Sans";font-size:16px"><br></span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:"Merriweather Sans";font-size:16px">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.</span></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Sep 3, 2021 at 6:26 AM Kathy Daniel <<a href="mailto:kdaniel20816@gmail.com" target="_blank">kdaniel20816@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"><a href="https://news.uga.edu/coevolution-between-invasive-native-species-062812/" target="_blank">https://news.uga.edu/coevolution-between-invasive-native-species-062812/</a><br></div>
