National & International Recognition

Recognition of Dr. Drees as a national and international authority in imported fire ant management has been demonstrated by his involvement in the Science Advisory Panels for fire ant eradication programs conducted by the California Department of Food and Agriculture (2000), Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry in New Zealand (2001), the Department of Primary Industries in Queensland, Australia (2001) and the Bureau of Animal and Plant Health Inspection and Quarantine, Council of Agriculture, Taiwan (2004). In March 1999, Drees also accepted an invitation by Representative W. D. “Billy” Witherspoon, Chairman of the Southern Legislative Conference’s (SLC) Agriculture and Rural Development Committee to be a member on the National Fire Ant Task Force. He was recognized for contributions made to the Pacific Ant Prevention Plan (Pacific Invasive Ant Group of The World Conservation Union’s Invasive Species Specialist Group). Information developed by Drees has been used extensively by these agencies in the development of their web sites, outreach education program materials and operating procedures (see Fire Ant Plan Fact Sheet, Drees et al. 2000). Participated in the ‘First International Symposium of the Red Imported Fire Ant in Mexico, La Universitad Autonoma Agraria Antonio Narro in Saltillo, MX, Sept. 6-9, 2005. Drees visited red imported fire ant infested portions of China at the invitation of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences in 2007.
