Aquatic invasive species threaten our lakes, streams, and wetlands. These species not only change the biology within the waterbody, but they can change the way we use those waterbodies and the resources they produce. Those changes may have large economic impacts, such as direct management costs and indirect costs to fisheries, tourism and commerce. These species can be small like zebra mussels or large like Asian carp, but one thing they have in common is being difficult to manage and to prevent further spread. To help inform control measures for aquatic invasive species, local, state, and federal natural resource management agencies have been working to develop risk assessments to understand the potential spread...

ITIS is a partnership of U.S., Canadian, and Mexican agencies and other organizations working in collaboration to collect and distribute scientific names and their taxonomic hierarchy. There are currently 10 active Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) partners forming a central, cohesive, source for the collection and distribution of complete, current, and high-quality species checklists with taxonomic hierarchy and robust synonymy. The ITIS database is an automated reference of scientific and common names of all seven kingdoms of life (Archaea, Bacteria, Protozoa, Chromista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia) and contains global treatments for most groups, but with some notable gaps. The ITIS data development team work...
