GeneConvene Global Collaborative Webinar Series: Invasive Species Management:
October 13, 27, November 3 The management, control and elimination of invasive species involves solving problems that have analogs to those anticipating the use of gene drive technologies to control and eliminate malaria in Africa. Avoiding unintended consequences from interventions designed to reduce or remove a species from an ecosystem has parallels in some applications of gene drive technologies. Monitoring and surveilling for the movement of invasive species is critical for making management decisions and methods and approaches that have been devised to deal with challenges such as large geographic areas, low species densities, limited resources to name just a few could inform thinking about monitoring and surveillance of gene drive-containing organisms. This series of webinars by invasive species specialists will feature research into how these challenges are being successfully addressed. Each seminar will be 45-50 minutes in length followed by questions and answers. Not a convenient time? Each webinar will be recorded and promptly posted on the GeneConvene Virtual Institute, and questions will be taken for 48 hours after the initial presentation. The speaker’s responses will be attached to the original presentation.
