Some, not all invaders have large impacts

An ecological principal:
Management priorities should be set by species
according to the amount of harm they do,
regardless of their origin.

Prevention is important, control can help, care is key.
Treatments have a cost too.
Consider:1. Effects of management2. Effects of invader3. Compare to natives

EWM Management
In Wisconsin:
~$2 million / year
~20% EWM herbicide treatments (2015)
~mean of 16 acres per treatment (2015)
~1520 acres treated (2015)
![Page 11: Untangling the effects invasive species, natives …...Untangling the effects invasive species, natives and management Alison Mikulyuk, Jake Vander Zanden, Martha Barton, Jennifer](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042114/5e906a0278b65d637649c1c1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
10 years of strategic management•EWM decreased
•Most native species were not negatively impacted
•Some species were negatively affected by a few large-scale treatments

Is it worth it? The ‘cure’ is bitter medicine but may be better than being sick!
Next: Compare effects of EWM and TRT
Problem: NO PRE/POST EWM DATA!
Solution:
Using observational data, account for environmental variation, compare:
TRT (treated and untreated lakes)
EWM (along an abundance gradient)
![Page 21: Untangling the effects invasive species, natives …...Untangling the effects invasive species, natives and management Alison Mikulyuk, Jake Vander Zanden, Martha Barton, Jennifer](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042114/5e906a0278b65d637649c1c1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
25 post-TRT & 125 (similar) untreated lakes

TRT: effects are more variable and slightly more negative
Treatment & EWM:No evidence for overall effect on macrophyte occurrence
Treatment: More variable by speciesMore negative effects
