OVER THE TOP!
During the summer of 2002, this APIRS web site attained a cyber milestone: we now receive
more than 1 million hits per month. ("Hits" are defined as pages viewed.) We know this because
our brand new Sun/Unix dual processor server tells us so. It also tells us that most people access
our web site on Tuesdays between 11 AM and 2 PM. (Nonetheless, about 120,000 hits/month
occur between midnight and 4 AM: pings from our users on the other side of the planet no
doubt.) The most popular pages on our 7,000 page web site include our plant photopages (twice
as many hits as any others); our line drawings pages; our Sea Grant sponsored pages; aquatic
birds pages; and our online glossary.
The online APIRS database receives around 2,100 hits per month, which is quite high
considering the rigmarole users must go through to use it. By January 2003, the database should
be accessible through a new web-style interface that will make it easier to use.

Hydrilla in Guatemala
Dr. William Haller, University of Florida, Center for Aquatic and Invasive Plants, recently
visited Guatemala as a USAID (United States Agency for International Development) consultant
to evaluate the current status and potential problems of Hydrilla verticillata in that country.
Following are excerpts from his final report.
Here is Haller's entire report, with photographs.
Here are PDF reports in Spanish by Alejandro Arrivillaga,
to CONAP and the Scientific Commission
Final Report, October 21, 2002
Anexo I, Datos de Campo
Maps and Figures
Distribution of Infestations
The native home of hydrilla is not known with certainty. Cook reports that
he believes hydrilla is native to the Indian subcontinent which is particularly
rich in Hydrocharitaceae species, but is not strongly opposed to the theory that
hydrilla may be native to east Africa. Hydrilla also was reported in Europe
early in the 1900s, and most recently in Poland and Lithuania, but only
isolated and small populations currently exist. Though classified as a single
taxonomic species worldwide, recent enzymatic and DNA analyses suggest
the existence of several "types" of hydrilla including monoecious and
dioecious plants (Madeira et al. 1997). Hydrilla produces excessive growth,
causing problems in the western hemisphere, Asia and Australia, but it is not a
problem in Europe and Africa.
Dr. Margaret Dix, University del Valle, indicated that she had collected
hydrilla outside the Polochic watershed in Guatemala in approximately 1990.
Fishermen noted that hydrilla was first observed in Lake Izabal in
approximately 2000. This date seems correct based upon the current
characteristics of the distribution in Lake Izabal. Hydrilla now occurs in many
locations, with some areas of growth approaching 400-500 acres in size, and
other areas of less thanI acre, suggesting that hydrilla is in an early
colonization mode. Likely, hydrilla was present in the watershed, in a pond or
isolated area, in 1998 when flood water from Hurricane Mitch moved it into
the lake.
In Florida, the "type" of hydrilla is the dioecious female plant which only
produces female flowers twice a year near the fall and spring equinox.
Hydrilla in Lake Izabal was flowering during early September 2002 and no
rhizomes suggestive of tuber production were located. Consequently I believe
that the hydrilla in Lake Izabal is the same type as that in Florida, Texas,
Mexico and Panama. This could be confirmed by planting hydrilla in shallow
pans in October to determine if tuber production occurs during October
through April, indicative of dioecious female plants in the southern USA
where hydrilla produces tubers during short day conditions (<12-13 hours of
day length).
Hydrilla in Lake Izabal
Recent surveys conducted by Alejandro Arrivillaga for the Scientific
Commission and CONAP (Consejo Nacional de Areas Protegidas) show over
2,000 ha (5,000 acres) currently growing in the 170,000 acre lake. The lake is
sustained by several rivers, primarily the Polochic entering Lake Izabal from
the west. The lake outlet to the east is a heavily populated area, the Rio Dulce,
which after approximately 3-4 miles widens into the Golfete. The Golfete is a
large (approximately 15,000 acre) shallow, tidally influenced area which
contains a manatee preserve and is largely surrounded by public lands. Further
east, the Golfete narrows once again and passes through the "Gorges" area for
approximately 4-6 miles, emptying into the Gulf of Honduras at the City of
Livingston.
My visit coincided with the end of the wet season and water flows in the Rio
Dulce were high with whirlpools and strong currents very noticeable wherever
the river was narrow. During and for a period after the wet season, the system
from the shallow Golfete through the Upper Rio Dulce is essentially fresh
water, with salinities sufficiently low for hydrilla growth. (Additional data are
needed on the salinity levels in the Golfete during the dry season (Nov-May)).
Hydrilla was present to the water surface in the upper Rio Dulce and western
Golfete during September 2002, near the end of the wet season. It is possible
that salinity will control this growth during the dry season, but it appears
hydrilla will become a problem in the Golfete for 2-3 months at the end of the
wet season and persist until killed by saltwater intrusion in the dry season.
The water depth of the Golfete appears to be suitable for hydrilla growth; the
limiting factor in this area will be the effects of salinity as hydrilla cannot
tolerate extended periods in excess of 6 parts per thousand or 20% of the salt
concentration of seawater. The Rio Dulce east of the Golfete is too deep and
too saline (I believe) for hydrilla to cause problems, though it may grow into
creek deltas of inflowing fresh water in the lower Rio Dulce and interfere with
local boat traffic. Research on the salinity and water depths of the Rio Dulce
and Golfete will permit more accurate prediction of the future extent of
hydrilla growth downstream of the Central Golfete.
Extent of Problem
At the current level of infestation, primarily in beds in Lake Izabal, hydrilla is
causing relatively minor problems to fishing and transportation. Hydrilla is
currently growing to water depths of approximately 15 feet. If hydrilla
continues to expand to cover the 15-18 foot contour of the lake bed, it is
estimated that it will cover 10-15% of the lake surface (20-30,000 acres of the
170,000 acre lake). While this level of infestation may appear small, it will
cause access and navigation problems for villagers and create problems for
fisherman.
The major concern I envision is if hydrilla were to establish in the upper Rio
Dulce, near the river bridge, where marinas, transportation, and tourism would
be severely impacted. Many people in this area rely upon river transport for
commerce, and tourism and recreation is a significant industry. Though water
flow in this area is high during the wet season, flows are negligible during the
dry season which will permit hydrilla to become established in these shallow
waters. In fact, hydrilla beds have already been found in the upper Rio Dulce
and western Golfete. The Golfete provides access to the transportation and
commerce center of the upper Rio Dulce and is likely to be severely impacted
as well. It is in these areas, the western Golfete and the upper Rio Dulce that I
fear hydrilla will cause severe economic hardship.
Hydrilla is currently too widespread to be eradicated from this system and
Guatemala needs to be prepared for expansion of hydrilla into areas which
will be economically affected. While we can hope hydrilla does not spread
further, historically it has and likely will continue expansion.
The Scientific Committee and concerned Guatemalan officials and agencies
have already initiated much needed research, monitoring, and evaluation of
management options. The following information is critically needed to be able
to accurately predict the ultimate effects of hydrilla: vegetation surveys; a new
bathymetric map (Hurricane Mitch in 1998 may have changed the depth
contours of the lake); fisheries surveys; salinity monitoring; insect surveys;
herbicide acute toxicity studies; and baseline limnological studies. While the
current hydrilla infestation is causing problems in the lake, it has not invaded
what I consider high priority economic sites, and it is critical to be prepared
for this event. This a very large and dynamic system in which it is impossible
to predict with certainty the ultimate infestation.

Water chestnut
Trapa natans
This invasive non-native is present in Delaware, Virginia, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Pennsylvania (?), New Jersey, New York and Vermont (Kartesz,
1999). It is native to Eurasia.
Water chestnut features a rosette of floating, fan-shaped leaves, each leaf having a
slightly inflated petiole (stem); the roots are fine, long and profuse; the small 4-
petalled flower is white; the fruit is a large nut having 4 sharp spines.
Color pictures of water chestnut may be found here.

European frog-bit
Hydrocharis morsus-ranae
This invasive non-native is present in shallow, slow-moving waters of New York,
Quebec and Ontario (Kartesz, 1999). It was introduced from Europe.
European frog-bit leaves may be floating or emersed. The heart-shaped leaves are
on long stems. The single 3-petalled flower is white. This plant looks similar to the
native American frog-bit, Limnobium spongia.
Color pictures of European frog-bit may be found here.

The most likely invaders of natural areas include aquatic or semi-aquatic plants,
grasses, nitrogen-fixers, climbing plants, and clonal trees, according to an analysis of
almost 2,800 agricultural weeds and natural area invaders world-wide. The analysis also
found that only 25% of natural area invaders were also serious agricultural weeds.

A "greenhouse insect," Orthezia insignis, is a serious, non-native pest now infesting
Florida landscape plants, including cultivated lantanas (Lantana sp.). This study compares
susceptibility to this invasive insect by Florida's two native lantana species and 38
cultivars of two non-native lantana species. It was found that our native Lantana depressa
and Lantana involucrata are much more susceptible to this insect threat than are any of
the 38 exotic nursery cultivars.

An endangered butterfly in the U.S. is becoming more endangered because its host
plant, a wetland sedge, Carex stricta, is being paved over and drained by new highway
and dredging projects. In 1997 only eleven populations were known; we wonder how
many there are now.

Read about "lag phase": "The promotion of new plants in the nursery trade creates an
increasing incentive to only briefly evaluate and then immediately introduce new plants...
It may be possible to effectively evaluate some herbaceous species in a given region
within a few years, but woody plants may require twenty, thirty, or more years to
effectively evaluate them."

Is this "the foundation for building a general theory of seed plant invasiveness"? The
author reviews Darwin's explanation for invasion success, presents certain characteristics
that may be required for invasiveness (seed size and periodicity, vertebrate availability,
latitudinal range and genome size), and propounds a theory of plant invasiveness.

NATIVE AQUATIC PLANTS
Lest we forget, with so much current emphasis on invasive non-natives, most plants in the U.S. are
native; beneficial to animals, humans, and the environment; and often beautiful. So, here are two photo-
murals of 76 native freshwater plants of the U.S.. Of the plants depicted, 100% are in Florida; 97% are also
found in the rest of the Southeast U.S.; 50% are found in the Eastern U.S.; 22% are found in the West; and 22%
are found throughout most of the U.S.

Tempest Invades a Teapot
Following are excerpts from the Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America which form a
dialog regarding use of the term invader in the field of ecology. The ESA Bulletin publishes
"letters, longer commentaries, and philosophical and methodological items related to the science
of ecology." The Ecological Society of America also publishes the journals Ecology, Ecological
Monographs, and Ecological Applications. For more information, go to http://www.esa.org/.
From "Eight Ways to be a Colonizer; Two Ways to be an Invader: A Proposed
Nomenclature Scheme for Invasion Ecology" by M.A. Davis and K. Thompson, ESA
Bulletin 81(3), July 2000, "We believe that inconsistent and imprecise use of invasion
terminology is one factor that is contributing to the ongoing difficulties of the field ....
Depending on the author, a species in the invasion literature might be referred to as alien,
exotic, invasive, nonindigenous, imported, weedy, introduced, non-native, immigrant,
colonizer, native, naturalized, endemic, or indigenous [references omitted-Ed.]. In many
cases, these terms are not defined, or if they are defined, they are not always defined
consistently. Until a commonly accepted vocabulary is adopted by invasion ecologists, we
think the field will continue to have difficulty developing reliable generalizations, partly
due to misunderstandings and misinterpretations among investigators. Clearly, an
invader is not just any newcomer, but one that has a large impact on the new environment.
This impact could involve community, ecosystem, and/or economic effects."
January 2001: From "Two Ways to Be an Invader, But One is More Suitable for
Ecology" by C.C. Daehler, ESA Bulletin 82(1), "Some invading species have greater
ecological impacts than others, but defining invaders as those species with the largest
impacts is an exercise in subjectivity that will be unlikely to contribute to clarity. For
ecology, defining invader based on population growth and spread in a new region is
preferable. It captures a general ecological process that can be confirmed with simple
measurements, leading to greater agreement among ecologists, and greater progress in
understanding invasions as ecological phenomena."
July 2001: From "Invasion Terminology: Should Ecologists Define Their Terms
Differently Than Others? No, Not if We Want to be of Any Help!" by M.A. Davis and K.
Thompson, ESA Bulletin 82(3), "We believe that there are compelling practical and
conceptual reasons for impact to be a part of the defining criteria for an invading species.
The primary practical reason is that, outside of the discipline of ecology, "invasive
species" are usually explicitly defined on the basis of their impact... it would be
counterproductive to the field and to society if ecologists were to define the terms
"invader" and "invasive" differently than the rest of society, and not include "impact" as
part of their definitions."
April 2002: From "Biological Invaioin% Politics and the Discontinuity of Ecological
Terminology" by M. Rejmanek, D.M. Richardson, et al, ESA Bulletin 83(2), "According
to these authors [Davis and Thompson], invasion always implies some kind of impact, and
all "invasive" taxa are harmful. There are several problems with their proposal. there is
much confusion, especially in the recent literature, particularly because many newcomers
to the burgeoning field of invasion ecology ignore existing terminology and instead rely
on the highly emotional negative connotations of the word "invasion" in relation to war
and other aggressive human activities. This is especially true for the popular literature on
invasions. Unfortunately, such sloppy terminology has permeated what should be
authoritative documents on this topic .. "
July 2002: From "Newcomers" Invade the Field of Invasion Ecology: Question the Field's
Future" by M.A. Davis and K. Thompson, ESA Bulletin 83(3), "We developed our
proposed nomenclature on the explicit recognition that some new species "have a
negligible effect on the new environment, whereas some have a very large impact (Davis
and Thompson 2000)." We proposed that usage of the word "invasion" be confined to
those circumstances in which the newcomers have a large impact on the community,
ecosystem, or economy. ... To most readers, this argument over the usage of a couple of
words must seem like a tempest in a teapot. However, there may be more at stake here
than just vocabulary. Invasion ecology clearly has been a hot area of research in recent
years, spawning invasion journals, invasion symposia, special grant initiatives, and
countless books and articles on the topic. Yet, despite all this activity, very little progress
in understanding the ecology of these new introductions has been gained, beyond that
which could already be acquired using existing ecological models and knowledge. We
fear that, despite original good intentions, the emergence of invasion ecology as a distinct
subdiscipline has hindered more than helped our efforts to understand the ecology of these
new introductions (Davis et al 2001). Paradoxically, ecology may contribute more
constructively to society's efforts to deal with the ecological, economic, and health
problems caused by some of these new species if the field proceeds without the language
and paradigms promoted in invasion ecology."
Personal communication from M.A. Davis, Nov. 2002: My feeling now is that if for
some reason we continue to feel compelled to use the word 'invader', it would make more
pragmatic sense if we used the word in the way that the public and policy members have
been using it, i.e., defined in terms of impact. How-ever, personally, I've come to the
conclusion that both scientific research and conservation efforts would be facilitated if we
dropped the native/exotic/invader paradigm and language completely and referred to
species as 'long-term residents' or 'recently introduced species' or 'problem
species' (which can include either long-term residents or recently introduced species).

Is Arundo donax "e-grass"?
Here is more info about Arundo donax.
The front page of the Wall Street Journal recently featured an article entitled, Arundo
Has Two Lives: A Pest in California, a Boon to Florida (Wed., October 16, 2002). The
article, about Arundo donax, giant reed, states that "Environmentalists here [in Florida]
see the plant as a godsend, offering a fast-growing replacement for coal and wood
products without gouging the earth or chopping down forests." The article goes on to
explain that a company, Biomass Industries, "with the blessings of the Northern Florida
Sierra Club," has secured a contract with Jacksonville city utilities to deliver electricity
derived from the burning (gasification) of tons of giant reed. The giant reed is to be grown
on an 8,000 acre Arundo farm on "leased land near the Everglades." Reportedly, a
gasification plant will be built on the farm and the electricity it produces will be
transmitted from there to Jacksonville. According to the Journal, the eight thousand acres
ofArundo are to be planted in Spring, 2003.
In California, there exists a "multimillion-dollar federal and state effort" to rid the state of
Arundo, which is listed in the A-1, Most Invasive Wildland Pest Plants Widespread list
of the California Exotic Pest Plant Council. "State officials, along with local Sierra Club
chapters and other environ-mental groups, blame the reed for fueling wildfires, causing
floods and killing fish. Arundo ranks near the top of the state's list of botanical pests." In
Florida, it is not listed as an invasive plant, although it may be found locally around the
state.
For its purposes, the Arundo donax-growing company's Web site and literature refers to
the plant as "e-grass." http://www.egrass.com

dedicated to the control of Arundo donax (giant reed): http://www.teamarundo.org/
The Nature Conservancy Wildland Invasive Species Team on Arundo donax: http://
tncweeds.ucdavis.edu/esadocs/arundona.html
Editor's note: The North Florida Sierra Club has stated that they were misrepresented in
the Wall Street Journal article and that they do not support the introduction of Arundo
donax or any other species without a review ... to understand the implications of
introduction.

Teaching Points available. Created especially for science teachers, eco-trainers
and others responsible for answering questions and presenting basic information
about invasive plants and native plants, the Teaching Points is a four-page list of
questions and answers that may be adapted for use in a 50-minute classroom-style
presentation. So that this useful document might be used over and over, year after
year, it is printed on plastic paper. The Teaching Points are even more meaningful
when used in conjunction with the plant photo-murals (described next). Available
free-of-charge from APIRS, CAIP-WEBSITE(aufl.edu
Murals Aplenty. During the past 12 months, nearly 2,500 K-12 science teachers
around the U.S. have requested and obtained free copies of the two giveaway
photo-murals produced by the University of Florida and the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection. The laminated photo-murals, Invasive Non-Native
Plants and Native Freshwater Plants, feature many "classroom size" photos. Used
with the accompanying Teaching Points, science teachers may tailor their own
science lessons about invasive plants for students of any grade. Besides being free
to K-12 teachers, they also are for sale to anyone else. http://plants.ifas.ufl.edu
The St. Louis Declaration. "To curb the use and distribution of invasive plant
species," these are rules to live by for nurserymen, plant sellers, botanic gardens,
landscape architects and the gardening public, as promulgated and agreed upon by
nurserymen, plant sellers, botanic gardens, landscape architects and members of
the gardening public. Read your own Code of Conduct at http://www.mobot.org/iss
Oklahoma Aquatic Weeds Poster. A new poster, Don't Free Lily! An Aid For
the Responsible Handling ofAquatic Plants, depicts and describes Oklahoma's 23
Prohibited Aquatic Plant Species. It also shows recommended native species which
should be used instead. It was produced by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife
Conservation, Langston University, and the University of Oklahoma. To obtain a

Acting Locally. The Wolf River Conservancy is one of the original eco-advocacy
groups of its kind. Established in 1985, the goal of its 1,500 members is "to
establish a protected public greenway along the 90-mile Wolf River from its
headwaters near Holly Springs, Mississippi, to its mouth at the Mississippi River in
Memphis, Tennessee." Over the years, WRC has purchased and otherwise helped
protect 8,000 acres of the river's "unmatched natural beauty and large pockets of
undisturbed forest." Visit: http://www.wolfriver.org
Florida Keys GreenSweep. For the past three years, The Nature Conservancy has
run a "volunteer-based habitat restoration initiative" in the Keys. Named
GreenSweep, the volunteer workers clear invasive plants from four National
Wildlife Refuges, 11 state parks, 5 CARL properties and countless municipal
conservation lands. Alison Higgins, Land Stewardship Coordinator, The Nature

Myrtaceae, scroll down past Eucalyptus and Eugenia, and find toxicity references
for six species of melaleuca. Visit: http://bodd.cf.ac.uk/index.html
K-12 Teachers A California Priority. When it comes to invasive species, many
organizations forget to enlist the support of professional science teachers, even
though it is well known that what teachers teach their students, the students teach
their parents. The California Department of Food and Agriculture recognizes this
simple yet effective cycle, and the Department specifically targets school teachers
and classrooms in the effort to teach the public about invasive species and what to
do about them. Visit http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/phpps/ipc/weededucation/k-

250 ft. long native plant mural. The City of Titusville (FL) has taken yet another
approach to public education by painting a plant mural on a 250 ft. retaining wall
alongside a city street. The mural illustrates the plant communities of Florida's
various ecosystems; each plant is labeled with its common name. The wall is used
as a teaching aid for various conservation outreach programs, including
encouraging the use of native plants and Florida-friendly landscaping techniques to
reduce water use. It is located at 2836 Garden Street, Titusville, Florida. For more

EWRS-Aquatic Weeds 2002 meeting held in
France
The European Weed Research Society's 11th International Symposium on Aquatic Weeds
took place in Moliets et Mad in the Landes region of France from 2-6 September 2002. The
symposium was organized by Cemagref (http://www.cemagref.fr/), in partnership with INRA
(http://www.inra.fr/) and ENSA of Rennes (http://agro.roazhon. inra.fr/), a national scientific
group working on macrophytes of continental waters of France, and the Conseil G6n6ral des
Landes. Previous symposia have taken place in different European countries since 1964.
Approximately 150 participants from 27 countries presented more than 100 papers at the five-day
meeting. Topics ranged from biology (16 papers), environmental relationships (36 papers),
bioindication (14 papers), management (17 papers), control (20 papers), and invasions (8 papers).
Presentations were given in French or English, with simultaneous translation available via
wireless headphones. Hydrobiologia will be publishing a special issue for papers presented at the
symposium.
Two field trips during the meeting showcased the Basque country, the rivers of the Pyren6es
Piedmont, and the lakes and wetlands of the Aquitaine coast.
The sumptuous gala dinner was preceded by a jai-alai demonstration (a traditional Basque sport),
and concluded with an anonymous late paper presented by Dr. Max Wade (UK) titled
"Observations of the invasion by alien aquatic weed scientists on the ecology of Moliets et Mad,
France." This fascinating paper was one of the highlights of the evening.
The 12th International EWRS Symposium on Aquatic Weeds is expected to be held in Poland.

22(1) AQUAPHYTE AQUAPHYTE ONLINE WINTER 2002 OVER THE TOP!During the summer of 2002, this APIRS web site attained a cyber milestone: we now receive more than 1 million hits per month. ("Hits" are defined as pages viewed.) We know this because our brand new Sun/Unix dual processor server tells us so. It also tells us that most people access our web site on Tuesdays between 11 AM and 2 PM. (Nonetheless, about 120,000 hits/month occur between midnight and 4 AM: pings from our users on the other side of the planet no doubt.) The most popular pages on our 7,000 page web site include our plant photopages (twice as many hits as any others); our line drawings pages; our Sea Grant sponsored pages; aquatic birds pages; and our online glossary. The online APIRS database receives around 2,100 hits per month, which is quite high considering the rigmarole users must go through to use it. By January 2003, the database should be accessible through a new web-style interface that will make it easier to use.

Aquaphyte Winter 2002 AQUAPHYTE ONLINE Winter 2002 Hydrilla in Guatemala Dr. William Haller, University of Florida, Center for Aquatic and Invasive Plants, recently visited Guatemala as a USAID (United States Agency for International Development) consultant to evaluate the current status and potential problems of Hydrilla verticillata in that country. Following are excerpts from his final report. Here is Haller's entire report, with photographs. Here are PDF reports in Spanish by Alejandro Arrivillaga, to CONAP and the Scientific Commission Final Report, October 21, 2002 Anexo I, Datos de Campo Maps and Figures Distribution of Infestations The native home of hydrilla is not known with certainty. Cook reports that he believes hydrilla is native to the Indian subcontinent which is particularly rich in Hydrocharitaceae species, but is not strongly opposed to the theory that hydrilla may be native to east Africa. Hydrilla also was reported in Europe early in the 1900s, and most recently in Poland and Lithuania, but only isolated and small populations currently exist. Though classified as a single taxonomic species worldwide, recent enzymatic and DNA analyses suggest the existence of several "types" of hydrilla including monoecious and dioecious plants (Madeira et al. 1997). Hydrilla produces excessive growth, causing problems in the western hemisphere, Asia and Australia, but it is not a problem in Europe and Africa. Dr. Margaret Dix, University del Valle, indicated that she had collected hydrilla outside the Polochic watershed in Guatemala in approximately 1990. Fishermen noted that hydrilla was first observed in Lake Izabal in http://plants.ifas.ufl.edu/aq-w02-5.html (1 of 4) [6/6/2008 1:56:31 PM]
PAGE 6
Aquaphyte Winter 2002 approximately 2000. This date seems correct based upon the current characteristics of the distribution in Lake Izabal. Hydrilla now occurs in many locations, with some areas of growth approaching 400-500 acres in size, and other areas of less than1 acre, suggesting that hydrilla is in an early colonization mode. Likely, hydrilla was present in the watershed, in a pond or isolated area, in 1998 when flood water from Hurricane Mitch moved it into the lake. In Florida, the "type" of hydrilla is the dioecious female plant which only produces female flowers twice a year near the fall and spring equinox. Hydrilla in Lake Izabal was flowering during early September 2002 and no rhizomes suggestive of tuber production were located. Consequently I believe that the hydrilla in Lake Izabal is the same type as that in Florida, Texas, Mexico and Panama. This could be confirmed by planting hydrilla in shallow pans in October to determine if tuber production occurs during October through April, indicative of dioecious female plants in the southern USA where hydrilla produces tubers during short day conditions (<12-13 hours of day length). Hydrilla in Lake Izabal Recent surveys conducted by Alejandro Arrivillaga for the Scientific Commission and CONAP (Consejo Nacional de Areas Protegidas) show over 2,000 ha (5,000 acres) currently growing in the 170,000 acre lake. The lake is sustained by several rivers, primarily the Polochic entering Lake Izabal from the west. The lake outlet to the east is a heavily populated area, the Rio Dulce, which after approximately 3-4 miles widens into the Golfete. The Golfete is a large (approximately 15,000 acre) shallow, tidally influenced area which contains a manatee preserve and is largely surrounded by public lands. Further east, the Golfete narrows once again and passes through the "Gorges" area for approximately 4-6 miles, emptying into the Gulf of Honduras at the City of Livingston. My visit coincided with the end of the wet season and water flows in the Rio Dulce were high with whirlpools and strong currents very noticeable wherever the river was narrow. During and for a period after the wet season, the system from the shallow Golfete through the Upper Rio Dulce is essentially fresh water, with salinities sufficiently low for hydrilla growth. (Additional data are http://plants.ifas.ufl.edu/aq-w02-5.html (2 of 4) [6/6/2008 1:56:31 PM]

Aquaphyte Winter 2002 needed on the salinity levels in the Golfete during the dry season (Nov-May)). Hydrilla was present to the water surface in the upper Rio Dulce and western Golfete during September 2002, near the end of the wet season. It is possible that salinity will control this growth during the dry season, but it appears hydrilla will become a problem in the Golfete for 2-3 months at the end of the wet season and persist until killed by saltwater intrusion in the dry season. The water depth of the Golfete appears to be suitable for hydrilla growth; the limiting factor in this area will be the effects of salinity as hydrilla cannot tolerate extended periods in excess of 6 parts per thousand or 20% of the salt concentration of seawater. The Rio Dulce east of the Golfete is too deep and too saline (I believe) for hydrilla to cause problems, though it may grow into creek deltas of inflowing fresh water in the lower Rio Dulce and interfere with local boat traffic. Research on the salinity and water depths of the Rio Dulce and Golfete will permit more accurate prediction of the future extent of hydrilla growth downstream of the Central Golfete. Extent of Problem At the current level of infestation, primarily in beds in Lake Izabal, hydrilla is causing relatively minor problems to fishing and transportation. Hydrilla is currently growing to water depths of approximately 15 feet. If hydrilla continues to expand to cover the 15-18 foot contour of the lake bed, it is estimated that it will cover 10-15% of the lake surface (20-30,000 acres of the 170,000 acre lake). While this level of infestation may appear small, it will cause access and navigation problems for villagers and create problems for fisherman. The major concern I envision is if hydrilla were to establish in the upper Rio Dulce, near the river bridge, where marinas, transportation, and tourism would be severely impacted. Many people in this area rely upon river transport for commerce, and tourism and recreation is a significant industry. Though water flow in this area is high during the wet season, flows are negligible during the dry season which will permit hydrilla to become established in these shallow waters. In fact, hydrilla beds have already been found in the upper Rio Dulce and western Golfete. The Golfete provides access to the transportation and commerce center of the upper Rio Dulce and is likely to be severely impacted as well. It is in these areas, the western Golfete and the upper Rio Dulce that I fear hydrilla will cause severe economic hardship. http://plants.ifas.ufl.edu/aq-w02-5.html (3 of 4) [6/6/2008 1:56:31 PM]

Aquaphyte Winter 2002 Hydrilla is currently too widespread to be eradicated from this system and Guatemala needs to be prepared for expansion of hydrilla into areas which will be economically affected. While we can hope hydrilla does not spread further, historically it has and likely will continue expansion. The Scientific Committee and concerned Guatemalan officials and agencies have already initiated much needed research, monitoring, and evaluation of management options. The following information is critically needed to be able to accurately predict the ultimate effects of hydrilla: vegetation surveys; a new bathymetric map (Hurricane Mitch in 1998 may have changed the depth contours of the lake); fisheries surveys; salinity monitoring; insect surveys; herbicide acute toxicity studies; and baseline limnological studies. While the current hydrilla infestation is causing problems in the lake, it has not invaded what I consider high priority economic sites, and it is critical to be prepared for this event. This a very large and dynamic system in which it is impossible to predict with certainty the ultimate infestation.

Aquaphyte Winter 2002 AQUAPHYTE ONLINE Winter 2002 Three New Line Drawings!A Trio of Northern U.S. Aquatic Weeds All drawings are by Dale Johnson, Center for Aquatic and Invasive Plants, University of Florida, Gainesville. Water chestnut Trapa natans This invasive non-native is present in Delaware, Virginia, Maryland, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania (?), New Jersey, New York and Vermont (Kartesz, 1999). It is native to Eurasia. Water chestnut features a rosette of floating, fan-shaped leaves, each leaf having a slightly inflated petiole (stem); the roots are fine, long and profuse; the small 4petalled flower is white; the fruit is a large nut having 4 sharp spines. Color pictures of water chestnut may be found here. http://plants.ifas.ufl.edu/aq-w02-8.html (1 of 3) [6/6/2008 1:56:32 PM]

Aquaphyte Winter 2002 European frog-bit Hydrocharis morsus-ranae This invasive non-native is present in shallow, slow-moving waters of New York, Quebec and Ontario (Kartesz, 1999). It was introduced from Europe. European frog-bit leaves may be floating or emersed. The heart-shaped leaves are on long stems. The single 3-petalled flower is white. This plant looks similar to the native American frog-bit, Limnobium spongia. Color pictures of European frog-bit may be found here. Yellow floating-heart Nymphoides peltata This invasive non-native is present in a diagonal line from Texas to New Hampshire, and into Quebec; also present in Arizona, California and Washington (Kartesz, 1999). It was introduced as an ornamental from eastern Asia. Yellow floating-heart is a floating-leaved plant with large yellow flowers, and adventitious roots along an underwater stem. http://plants.ifas.ufl.edu/aq-w02-8.html (2 of 3) [6/6/2008 1:56:32 PM]

22(2) AQUAPHYTE AQUAPHYTE ONLINE WINTER 2002 APIRS Picks Particularly interesting new items in the APIRS database Selections by reader/cataloger, Mary Langeland; elaborated by Vic Ramey The most likely invaders of natural areas include aquatic or semi-aquatic plants, grasses, nitrogen-fixers, climbing plants, and clonal trees, according to an analysis of almost 2,800 agricultural weeds and natural area invaders world-wide. The analysis also found that only 25% of natural area invaders were also serious agricultural weeds. Daehler, C.C. 1998. The Taxonomic Distribution of Invasive Angiosperm Plants: Ecological Insights and Comparison to Agricultural Weeds. Biol. Cons. 84:167-180. A "greenhouse insect," Orthezia insignis, is a serious, non-native pest now infesting Florida landscape plants, including cultivated lantanas (Lantana sp.). This study compares susceptibility to this invasive insect by Florida's two native lantana species and 38 cultivars of two non-native lantana species. It was found that our native Lantana depressa and Lantana involucrata are much more susceptible to this insect threat than are any of the 38 exotic nursery cultivars.

Aquaphyte Winter 2002 AQUAPHYTE ONLINE Winter 2002 Tempest Invades a TeapotFollowing are excerpts from the Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America which form a dialog regarding use of the term invader in the field of ecology. The ESA Bulletin publishes "letters, longer commentaries, and philosophical and methodological items related to the science of ecology." The Ecological Society of America also publishes the journals Ecology, Ecological Monographs, and Ecological Applications. For more information, go to http://www.esa.org/. From "Eight Ways to be a Colonizer; Two Ways to be an Invader: A Proposed Nomenclature Scheme for Invasion Ecology" by M.A. Davis and K. Thompson, ESA Bulletin 81(3), July 2000, "We believe that inconsistent and imprecise use of invasion terminology is one factor that is contributing to the ongoing difficulties of the field. . . . Depending on the author, a species in the invasion literature might be referred to as alien, exotic, invasive, nonindigenous, imported, weedy, introduced, non-native, immigrant, colonizer, native, naturalized, endemic, or indigenous [references omitted-Ed.]. In many cases, these terms are not defined, or if they are defined, they are not always defined consistently. Until a commonly accepted vocabulary is adopted by invasion ecologists, we think the field will continue to have difficulty developing reliable generalizations, partly due to misunderstandings and misinterpretations among investigators. . . Clearly, an invader is not just any newcomer, but one that has a large impact on the new environment. This impact could involve community, ecosystem, and/or economic effects." January 2001: From "Two Ways to Be an Invader, But One is More Suitable for Ecology" by C.C. Daehler, ESA Bulletin 82(1), "Some invading species have greater ecological impacts than others, but defining invaders as those species with the largest impacts is an exercise in subjectivity that will be unlikely to contribute to clarity. For ecology, defining invader based on population growth and spread in a new region is preferable. It captures a general ecological process that can be confirmed with simple measurements, leading to greater agreement among ecologists, and greater progress in understanding invasions as ecological phenomena." July 2001: From "Invasion Terminology: Should Ecologists Define Their Terms Differently Than Others? No, Not if We Want to be of Any Help!" by M.A. Davis and K. Thompson, ESA Bulletin 82(3), "We believe that there are compelling practical and http://plants.ifas.ufl.edu/aq-w02-22.html (1 of 3) [6/6/2008 1:56:35 PM]
PAGE 21
Aquaphyte Winter 2002 conceptual reasons for impact to be a part of the defining criteria for an invading species. The primary practical reason is that, outside of the discipline of ecology, "invasive species" are usually explicitly defined on the basis of their impact . . . it would be counterproductive to the field and to society if ecologists were to define the terms "invader" and "invasive" differently than the rest of society, and not include "impact" as part of their definitions." April 2002: From "Biological Invasions: Politics and the Discontinuity of Ecological Terminology" by M. Rejmanek, D.M. Richardson, et al, ESA Bulletin 83(2), "According to these authors [Davis and Thompson], invasion always implies some kind of impact, and all "invasive" taxa are harmful. There are several problems with their proposal. . . . there is much confusion, especially in the recent literature, particularly because many newcomers to the burgeoning field of invasion ecology ignore existing terminology and instead rely on the highly emotional negative connotations of the word "invasion" in relation to war and other aggressive human activities. This is especially true for the popular literature on invasions. Unfortunately, such sloppy terminology has permeated what should be authoritative documents on this topic . . . " July 2002: From "Newcomers" Invade the Field of Invasion Ecology: Question the Field's Future" by M.A. Davis and K. Thompson, ESA Bulletin 83(3), "We developed our proposed nomenclature on the explicit recognition that some new species "have a negligible effect on the new environment, whereas some have a very large impact (Davis and Thompson 2000)." We proposed that usage of the word "invasion" be confined to those circumstances in which the newcomers have a large impact on the community, ecosystem, or economy. . . . To most readers, this argument over the usage of a couple of words must seem like a tempest in a teapot. However, there may be more at stake here than just vocabulary. . . . Invasion ecology clearly has been a hot area of research in recent years, spawning invasion journals, invasion symposia, special grant initiatives, and countless books and articles on the topic. Yet, despite all this activity, very little progress in understanding the ecology of these new introductions has been gained, beyond that which could already be acquired using existing ecological models and knowledge. We fear that, despite original good intentions, the emergence of invasion ecology as a distinct subdiscipline has hindered more than helped our efforts to understand the ecology of these new introductions (Davis et al 2001). Paradoxically, ecology may contribute more constructively to society's efforts to deal with the ecological, economic, and health problems caused by some of these new species if the field proceeds without the language and paradigms promoted in invasion ecology." Personal communication from M.A. Davis, Nov. 2002: My feeling now is that if for some reason we continue to feel compelled to use the word invader', it would make more pragmatic sense if we used the word in the way that the public and policy members have been using it, i.e., defined in terms of impact. How-ever, personally, I've come to the conclusion that both scientific research and conservation efforts would be facilitated if we http://plants.ifas.ufl.edu/aq-w02-22.html (2 of 3) [6/6/2008 1:56:35 PM]

Aquaphyte Winter 2002 AQUAPHYTE ONLINE Winter 2002 Is Arundo donax "e-grass"? Here is more info about Arundo donax. The front page of the Wall Street Journal recently featured an article entitled, Arundo Has Two Lives: A Pest in California, a Boon to Florida (Wed., October 16, 2002). The article, about Arundo donax, giant reed, states that "Environmentalists here [in Florida] see the plant as a godsend, offering a fast-growing replacement for coal and wood products without gouging the earth or chopping down forests." The article goes on to explain that a company, Biomass Industries, "with the blessings of the Northern Florida Sierra Club," has secured a contract with Jacksonville city utilities to deliver electricity derived from the burning (gasification) of tons of giant reed. The giant reed is to be grown on an 8,000 acre Arundo farm on "leased land near the Everglades." Reportedly, a gasification plant will be built on the farm and the electricity it produces will be transmitted from there to Jacksonville. According to the Journal, the eight thousand acres of Arundo are to be planted in Spring, 2003. In California, there exists a "multimillion-dollar federal and state effort" to rid the state of Arundo, which is listed in the A-1, Most Invasive Wildland Pest Plants Widespread list of the California Exotic Pest Plant Council. "State officials, along with local Sierra Club chapters and other environ-mental groups, blame the reed for fueling wildfires, causing floods and killing fish. Arundo ranks near the top of the state's list of botanical pests." In Florida, it is not listed as an invasive plant, although it may be found locally around the http://plants.ifas.ufl.edu/aq-w02-26.html (1 of 2) [6/6/2008 1:56:36 PM]

22(2) AQUAPHYTE AQUAPHYTE ONLINE WINTER 2002 EWRS-Aquatic Weeds 2002 meeting held in France The European Weed Research Society's 11th International Symposium on Aquatic Weeds took place in Moliets et Ma in the Landes region of France from 2-6 September 2002. The symposium was organized by Cemagref ( http://www.cemagref.fr/), in partnership with INRA ( http://www.inra.fr/) and ENSA of Rennes ( http://agro.roazhon. inra.fr/), a national scientific group working on macrophytes of continental waters of France, and the Conseil Gnral des Landes. Previous symposia have taken place in different European countries since 1964. Approximately 150 participants from 27 countries presented more than 100 papers at the five-day meeting. Topics ranged from biology (16 papers), environmental relationships (36 papers), bioindication (14 papers), management (17 papers), control (20 papers), and invasions (8 papers). Presentations were given in French or English, with simultaneous translation available via wireless headphones. Hydrobiologia will be publishing a special issue for papers presented at the symposium. Two field trips during the meeting showcased the Basque country, the rivers of the Pyrenes Piedmont, and the lakes and wetlands of the Aquitaine coast. The sumptuous gala dinner was preceded by a jai-alai demonstration (a traditional Basque sport), and concluded with an anonymous late paper presented by Dr. Max Wade (UK) titled "Observations of the invasion by alien aquatic weed scientists on the ecology of Moliets et Ma, France." This fascinating paper was one of the highlights of the evening. The 12th International EWRS Symposium on Aquatic Weeds is expected to be held in Poland.
