The USGS is offering a Cooperative Agreement to a CESU-affiliated partner. This grant is specifically for conducting research focused on the geographic distribution of biological control agents, with a particular emphasis on those employed against weeds. The primary purpose of this investigation is to significantly improve current assessments of biocontrol efficacy. Furthermore, the findings from this research will provide clearer insights into the patterns of biocontrol release and spread across different environments. Ultimately, this work is designed to directly aid in making more informed and robust decisions concerning the risk assessment of biological control agents, contributing to sustainable ecological management practices.
