The Invasive Species Information Node partner University of Tennesse Chattanooga (UTC) geographic information systems (GIS) research laboratory, working in tandem with wildlife management officers from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP), has begun to use GIS to examine twenty-six years of park service efforts to control populations of an invasive species, the exotic European wild boar (Sus scrofa Linneaus).

Check out a powerpoint presentation that further details these research efforts!
