The zebra mussel came from the drainage basin of the Black, Caspian and Aral Seas of Eastern Europe. The zebra mussel got to Wisconsin by boats and ships coming through ports in the freshwater. The zebra mussels were first found in Great Lakes in 1985-1986. The mussels are currently still in the Great Lakes and other freshwater lakes/ponds. The mussels impact humans by some company’s that use water for different things. They also impact animals by outcompete filter feeders starving them. They are very ahere to hard surfaces such as shells and turtles. People get rid of the mussels by back flushing, vacuums, physical removal, and oxygen deprivation. -Bree, derringer, Ben

Came from: Eurasia
Got to Wisconsin by: introduced to Wisconsin by seeds brought over
Found in Wisconsin: sunny areas with dry soils -prairies,  savannas, pastures, and fields
Impacts Wisconsin: displaces native vegetation, reduces species diversities, and degrades habitats for wildlife
Scientists trying to manage it’s population by: Digging/hand pulling

Spongy moths originate from Eurasia. The moth was brought to America in attempt to breed a silkworm. The moth was first found in Massachusetts. It can be found in eastern Wisconsin. The moths can cause a threat to native species and humans because they can increase the mortality rate of native caterpillars. They also damage trees by defoliating them. Scientists are trying a method called Slow-The-Spreed which delays the amount of territory invaded through trapping and applying insecticides. Insecticides is a substance used to kill insects.

Garlic Mustard is originally from Europe and Asia and was introduced to the United States in the mid 1800’s. They were possibly introduced to Wisconsin to be used as a cooking herb and for medical purposes, but some think the seeds were accidentally introduced. It’s believed that the garlic mustard was first found in Long Island, New York in 1868. You can find the invasive species in many places that have good shade including forests, yards, and roadsides. The garlic mustard forms in dense patches which overtakes native wildflowers, young trees, and other native plant species. Scientists try to remove this invasive species by manually removing the plants and using types of herbicides as well as a controlled burn of the species.

Where it came from: Europe and Asia
How it got to Wisconsin: Habitat tolerance
Where it is in Wisconsin: Prairies, oak savannas and fens
Impacts humans/species: Chemical compounds in the plant are known to reduce weight gain and fertility in livestock that eat it
Scientist managing population/removing it: as a foliar spray

* Species came from Southern U.S
* Brought by fisherman to use as bait
* First found in 1960’s
* Can be found in the Door County area
* They threatened the population of invertebrates, small fish and native crayfish
* Teaching people how to identify and dispose and to report sightings

- Came from the Black and Caspian seas
- came in the water of ships from Europe
- it’s found in the Great Lakes and in rivers around Michigan and Canada
-it takes over prime spawning sites and competing with native fish for habitat
- scientists are using electronic barriers to limit the spread of round gobys

Native:  The Atlantic Ocean
Invasive: Great Lakes
How did it get into Wisconsin: They traveled though the Erie Canal.
First found: Lake Erie
Currently in Wisconsin: All Great Lakes and tributary streams.
Impact in Wisconsin: It has gained access and established a self-sustaining population in all five Great Lakes. It has by decimating the native fish population.
How are scientist preventing the population or remove it: Trapping the Sea Lamprey.

Non native comes from Asia
Likely got here by being in wooden materials
Was first found in Michigan in 2002
It is currently located in 58 of Wisconsin 72 county’s
They are managing the emerald ash borer with trap trees which are girdled ash trees.

It is original from Eurasia.
It came to Wisconsin  in the 1800 when settlers brought it for there garden.
It was first found in the garden of settlers in the 1800’s. It is found mostly in moist prairies and wetlands/wet meadows.
It impacts wetlands by forcing plants and animals out of their homes. It also take food and water which leaves nothing for the native species.
They are managing its population by letting galerucella beetles eat it. They have been using chemicals and by taking out the plant out of that ecosystem.
