<div dir="ltr">Dear colleagues:
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm pleased to announce the publication of the USGS Open-File Report, "First comprehensive list of non-native species established in three major regions of the United States," its accompanying dataset, and other related documents.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This publication is a result of six years of collaborative research among three USGS Science Centers and my program, and work to update the U.S. non-native species list is ongoing.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here are the associated DOIs:</div>
