Bargeron1*, Charles and Christopher Evans1 1 University of Georgia-Bugwood Network, Tifton, GA ABSTRACT: Early detection of new invasive species allows for management activities to be implemented while infestations are small and eradication or suppression is more feasible. Land managers, biologists, amateur botanists, and private landowners all have the ability to identify these species, but may not know if they are new to that area and who to contact to report infestations. To provide a location to store and display this data, the Southeast Exotic Pest Plant Council (SE-EPPC) and the Bugwood Network developed the SE-EPPC Early Detection and Distribution Mapping System. This project compiles the current distribution data from a variety of sources and uses volunteers from state EPPCs to collect distribution data on common and new invasive species throughout the southeast. The project has been underway for nearly a year. During this time, many refinements and additions to the online data and map retrieval system have been made, training sessions have been conducted, and data has been added. The georeferenced Florida EPPC database has been imported into the EDDMapS system and a specialized interface has been designed for the Florida EPPC to input, view and extract data. Predicting the distributions of two invasive exotics, Ardisia crenata and A. elliptica (Myrsinaceae). Braun, Sarah Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL ABSTRACT: Ardisia crenata and Ardisia elliptica (Myrsinaceae) are two shrubs listed as invasive exotics in the state of Florida by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council (FLEPPC). Occurrence records for A. crenata and A. elliptica were gathered from the FLEPPC database, the Florida Invasive Plant
