Project: Threat assessment and mitigation in fresh water dune 
landscapes-Pitcher's thistle, invasive plants, and control of biocontrol weevils



Limited summer and academic year support for research and graduate teaching 
assistantships is available to suitable graduate students beginning June 2014 
for work on aspects of the ecology and conservation of the federally threatened 
Pitcher's thistle of Great Lakes shorelines, and its association with 
biocontrol agents (weevils) of invasive weeds, including population dynamics in 
the field, plant-insect interactions, insect control, and applications of 
remote sensing techniques.
