Deah Lieurance, an assistant professor of invasive species biology and management at Penn State, will discuss “Expanding the predictive \u2018toolbox\u2019 to stop invasive species dead in their tracks” on Dec. 2 at Wright State.<\/p><\/div>\n

Deah Lieurance, Ph.D., a Penn State faculty member and Wright State University alum, will discuss ways to stop the spread of invasive species during the Wayne Carmichael Lecture in Environmental Sciences.<\/p>\n

Lieurance’s lecture, “Expanding the predictive \u2018toolbox\u2019 to stop invasive species dead in their tracks,” will take place\u00a0on Monday, Dec. 2, at 6 p.m. in 101 Neuroscience Engineering Collaboration Building.<\/p>\n

The talk will be preceded by a reception at 5 p.m. in the Neuroscience Engineering Collaboration Building lobby.<\/p>\n

Lieurance, who earned a Ph.D. in environmental services<\/a> at Wright State, is an assistant professor of invasive species biology and management at Penn State University.<\/p>\n

She has worked for over 12 years in invasive species prevention and risk assessment is currently building the Penn State University Invasive Species Risk Analysis Program, a cooperative extension program for the categorization of non-native species serving the Pennsylvania Governor\u2019s Invasive Species Council.<\/p>\n

She is also developing a research program to investigate the effect of climate change on the ecophysiology and chemical ecology of invasive plants and how that might shape plant herbivore interactions.<\/p>\n

Lieurance had led scans for invasive species threats in the United States, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, as well as a national scan for plants in trade and participated in a project ranking secondary spread pathways in the National Early Detection and Rapid Response Framework. She also coordinated the University of Florida\u2019s risk assessment program for non-native plants.<\/p>\n

Her research spans plant-herbivore interactions, enemy release and biocontrol development for key invasive plants.<\/p>\n

The lecture is sponsored by Wright State\u2019s Environmental Sciences Ph.D. Program, the College of Science and Mathematics<\/a>, the Department of Biological Sciences<\/a> and Pi Epsilon, the environmental sciences honor society. The annual lecture is named in honor of Wayne Carmichael, the first director of the Environmental Sciences Ph.D. Program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
