University of Tennessee doctoral student in ecology and evolutionary biology Sara Kuebbing uses the U.S. Forestry Service's free iPad app for recording exotic species earlier this month at Ijams Nature Center. The information she gathers is entered into a national database that biologists use to track and eradicate invasive species. (MICHAEL PATRICK/NEWS SENTINEL)
