EDDMapS West 4.1.2
EDDMapS is a national web-based mapping systemfor documenting invasive species distribution. It is fast, easy touse and doesn't require Geographic Information Systems experience.Launched in 2005 by the CISEH, it was originally designed as a toolfor state Exotic Pest Plant Councils to develop more completedistribution data of invasive species. EDDMapS goal is to maximizethe effectiveness and accessibility of the immense numbers ofinvasive species observations recorded each year. EDDMapS combinesdata from other databases and organizations as well as volunteerobservations to create a national network of invasive speciesdistribution data that is shared with educators, land managers,conservation biologists, and beyond. As of November 2011, EDDMapShas over 1.5 million records. This data serves as the foundationfor a better understanding of invasive species distribution aroundthe world.On September 28, 2010, the MRWC and CISEH launched theMRWC-EDDMapS – a customized system that focuses on species that arenew or potential new invaders to the Coalition states, and thatprovides a means of reporting new sightings of select invasivespecies, a mechanism for alerting appropriate individuals to thereports, and generates distribution maps for the reportedspecies.
Landscape Alternatives 1.0.1
Everybody loves a beautiful garden. Gardenerslove plants that are adaptable, tough, and fast-growing. It’s evenbetter if that plant produces showy fruits that attract birds or isan annual that self seeds, so it doesn’t need to be replanted everyyear. Unfortunately, many of these plant traits desirable togardeners can also increase the likelihood that a plant jumps thegarden fence and invades natural areas.Invasive plants threaten our environment and economy. They posean enormous threat to our native plants, animals, and ecosystems,and they cost the United States approximately $35 billion per year(www.invasivespecies.gov).Although invasive plants are almost always not native to aregion, it is important to note that most non-native species arenot invasive. We use the following definitions.Native (indigenous): A species that was present in NorthAmerican prior to European settlement or has arrived since throughnatural means of dispersal.Non-native (exotic, alien, introduced): A species that wasbrought to North America by humans, either deliberately oraccidentally.Invasive: A non-native whose introduction does or is likely tocause economic or environmental harm or harm to human health (fromFederal Executive Order 13112).People have introduced invasive species both accidentally anddeliberately. This app focuses on plant species that are usedornamentally and have become invasive in at least part of theMidwest. Cultivars or hybrids produced from these species may ormay not be invasive. In the few published cultivar evaluationstudies, some cultivars prove to be more invasive than the parentspecies, others less or not invasive. We lack research aboutcultivar invasiveness for many of these species. When we have goodevidence about a problematic or relatively benign cultivar, we listthose specifically.Suggested alternatives include both native species andnon-native species that currently show no signs of becominginvasive.
GA Cotton Insect Advisor 1.0.1
GA Cotton Insect Advisor is an expert systemfor determining Extension prescribed insecticide treatments formanagement of cotton insect pests in the state of Georgia. The appwill display the most appropriate insecticide or tankmix after theuser provides the appropriate week of bloom, predominant stink bugspecies, percent internal boll injury, and other pest speciespresent. At present time, the app is intended for management ofstink bugs only. Recommendations are based on information on themanufacturer’s label and performance data from research andExtension trials the University of Georgia. GA Cotton InsectAdvisor was developed by the University of Georgia Center forInvasive Species and Ecosystem Health in cooperation with theDepartment of Entomology at the College of Agricultural andEnvironmental Sciences with support from Cotton Incorporated.

What's Invasive! 3.0.3
We are currently changing servers, movingoverto the University of Georgia. Our site is down temporarily butwillbe back up shortly. Thanks for your patience!One of the greatest dangers to natural areas is the spreadofinvasive species. Help invasive species experts protectourenvironment! This app accesses local lists created by NationalParkService rangers and other professionals to show you topinvasivesspecies in your area. You can then contribute data to helpstop thespread of invasives by using the app to send GPS locationandphotos of these plants and animals to the experts.Visithttp://whatsinvasive.com for more information.
Stink Bug Scout 2.0
Stink Bug Scout is designed for usebyuniversity researchers for making assessments of stinkbugpopulations in fields and across landscapes. At the pointofcollection, stink bugs are identified by the user, withassistancefrom pictures in the app database, and then entered intothedatabase and uploaded to EDDMapS by multiple userssimultaneously.All data points are stamped with the current time,date, latitude,and longitude and can be downloaded and sorted forfurtheranalyses. Stink Bug Scout was developed by the UniversityofGeorgia Center for Invasive Species and Ecosystem Healthincooperation with the Department of Entomology at the CollegeofAgricultural and Environmental Sciences.
