New paper out of the #Minteerlab from our postdoc, Dr. Telmadarrehei! These data show that the Brazilian peppertree thrips should survive in areas with brackish water. This is good news for control of Brazilian peppertree in mangroves! #UFBugs #UFBiocontrol www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

This is an earleaf acacia tree (graduate student for scale). It is an invasive from Australia. Nearly every limb was ripped off of this formerly 15 ft tree by a tornado spawned by Hurricane Milton on Oct. 9, 2024. The fast growth rate of these trees are one reason they are problematic. #plantnative
