DESCRIPTION:Claire Schon\, PhD Candidate\, Waterloo Wetland Lab\, Departmen
 t of Biology\, University of Waterloo\n\n\n–\n\nClaire Schon will talk a
 bout her current research with invasive Phragmites australis biological co
 ntrol. In 2005\, invasive Phragmites was called Canadas “worst invasive 
 plant” and is still threatening wetlands in Canada today. Claire’s res
 earch with collaborators at University of Toronto and Agriculture and Agri
 food Canada\, focuses on the efficacy of a new technique for invasive Phra
 gmites control and monitoring the recovery of native plant communities. Le
 arn more about the two moth species that feed on invasive Phragmites and t
 he promising results for Phragmites biological control she has found so fa
 r.\n\nClaire Schon is a PhD Candidate in the Waterloo Wetland Laboratory\,
  led by Dr. Rebecca Rooney at the University of Waterloo in the Department
  of Biology.  Her research focuses on botany\, wetland ecology\, and inva
