INTERNET WORKSHOP ON RESEARCH NEEDS CONCERNING NON-TARGET IMPACTS OF BIOLOGICAL CONTROL INTRODUCTIONS

In October 1998, ARS established a list-server for an internet workshop on research needs for assessing and reducing non-target impacts of biological control introductions. The emphasis in the discussions is on research needs for introductions of arthropods to control arthropod pests and weeds, but discussion of research needs for other sorts of introductions is not excluded. The purpose of the workshop is to promote discussion among researchers working on this problem. The plan is for the workshop to last 6-12 months followed up by distribution of a summary of the workshop discussion. The list is open and unmoderated at present.
