Common tansy, whose scientific name is Tanacetum vulgare, is an invasive plant found in Northeastern Minnesota spreading rapidly throughout the state. It can quickly establish dense monocultures that squeeze out native plants and is difficult and costly to remove.
Invasive species cause billions of dollars of economic and ecological damage annually. One of the keys to stopping invasion is understanding how a species moves and adapts as it spreads. Using this information, experts can develop effective plans for targeted management and eradication.
