Recent rumblings in the blogosphere about invasive species:
- Invasive Notes has a good post about non-native soil. When you're done with that, an appropriate chaser would be the article about Bermuda's cricket field woes I pointed to last week in the Twitter feed.
- bootstrap analysis notes that the carp are comin' - in fact populations of Asian carp near Lake Michigan have doubled.
- The bioblog has an excellent post about the effectiveness of biological control agents.
- Walking the Berkshires has yet another good invasive plant post, this time about the black swallow-wort vine (Cynanchum louiseae) taking over Monhegan Island.
- The Lulu Island Blog put together a useful photoblogging post about purple loosestrife and plants that look a lot like loosestrife when they flower.
- bbum has a nice big post about a nasty little weed known as puncturevine (Tribulis terrestris).

Thank you for the information and the interesting links. The information you share is very needed. So many plant without ever knowing what they are doing. Wisteria is very beautiful but takes over everything in its path.
