and again on Sept. 23, 2021. Since then, there have been other research-grade observations of the worm across different parts of Ontario, according to the website, including in Toronto and Hamilton, Ont.
“There's simply so much plant material coming up from the United States that it would be very, very simple for [the worms] to be transported here,” she said.”We get a lot of plants in the industry shipped through nurseries in the U.S. [so] the likelihood is very high that it will come through that pathway.”
“This kind of cascade event impacts food webs, and particularly insect populations which support bird life – it's all interconnected.” “It's really quite urgent that we pay attention to what's happening,” Kavassalis said. “Nature will adapt to some extent, but it's the rate at which they can adapt to these changes that's the concern.”
