Join us tonight, Dec. 9 at 7 p.m. as WSU biologist, Dr. Daniel Kashian presents the lecture: "Globalization of Our Natural Areas – Tales of the Emerald Ash Borer and Other Exotic Species in Southeastern Michigan."

"The introduction and establishment of every new, damaging invasive species follows the pattern of many before. Species seen as invasive are almost always fought, from the weeds and insect pests in our gardens, to the latest aggressive plants or animals in the forest. With the likelihood of many more exotic species being introduced as the world becomes more globalized, where do we go from here, and what is the future of our natural areas?"

This lecture at the planetarium is part of our once-a-month Science Under the Dome lecture series.
