The journal, Diversity and Distributions, published a very interesting discussion on the ecological consequences of bush honeysuckle invasions and methods used to investigate those consequences.

"Commander Ben" and his invasive species videos

Twelve year old "Commander Ben" has started a humorous and educational video series to educate the public about invasive species at http://www.commanderben.com

His first video, "Who Will Fell This Titan?", on Giant Reed won first place at the Science Under the Stars video contest at the Brackenridge Field Lab earlier this month.

He has published two more videos, "Tea time with English Ivy" and "In an ecesis far far away" on his website, and he has more videos on the way.
