The Everglades National Park has released a much expanded mobile app for tracking invasive exotics in Florida. The “IveGot1” app was developed by Park and University of Georgia researchers for the popular iPhone to identify and report invasive plants and animals spotted in Florida.

Researchers at the University of Georgia have developed a “super strain” of yeast that can efficiently ferment ethanol from pretreated pine—one of the most common species of trees in Georgia and the U.S. Their research could help biofuels replace gasoline as a transportation fuel.
