Preface
The research and outreach programs described in the following report are the result of an ongoing partnership between
the U.S. Geological Survey Biological Resources Discipline, the National Biological Information Infrastructure, and
Mississippi State University. Funding for these programs was provided by an award from USGS BRD to MSU under
cooperative agreements 04HQAG0135 and 08HQAG0139. The MSU program was managed by the Geosystems Research
Institute. The USGS BRD Invasive Species Program manager was Sharon Gross, the NBII Invasive Species Information
Node manager was Annie Simpson, and Randy Westbrooks of USGS BRD worked with MSU on virtually
every task.
