Besides the obligatory talk on zebra mussels, presentations will cover a wide range of perspectives on other nonindigenous species from the plant and animal kingdoms, including dogwood anthracnose disease, Asian tiger mosquitoes, exotic earthworms and domestic cats.

The Zebra Mussel Update was a 4- to 8-page quarterly national newsletter published by the University of Wisconsin Sea Grant Institute from May 1990 through May 1997. The ZMU documented the spread of the zebra mussel -- an exotic nuisance mussel -- through North America's freshwater environments, especially the Great Lakes, and on efforts to control it.
