Plant-Insect Ecosystems

Genomics of Invasion

Wednesday, November 8, 2023
1:30 PM – 5:30 PM ET
Location: Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, Potomac 5-6

In-Person

Each year, invasive insect species are responsible for billions of dollars of damages and significant harm to ecosystems. We discuss how advances in genomics contribute to efforts to predict, detect, prevent, and control biological invasions.
