New grant funded by MITPPC/LCCMR for invasion research

Ryan and Dave received a new 4-year grant from the State of Minnesota (via MITPPC and LCCMR) to examine adaptation to climate change and its influence on future range expansion in common tansy, an invasive species. Common tansy is particularly problematic in open habitats of northern Minnesota where it has increased dramatically in abundance over the last few decades. It also appears to be expanding westward.
