Just curious, what is the thickness of your binder? I have a 2 inch binder, and it currently weighs 5.5 pounds nearly full (I just had to check after reading this). A lot of the weight is probably sheet protectors tho. From what I've seen, a lot of teams are going for either gigantic 3-4 inch binders or really skinny 1-1.5 inch ones. Either way that makes me scared xD.
I was scared by binder sizes last year in Fossils until we beat all the people with massive binders

Okay I have to discuss the binder size thing. I think for sure if your information is condensed and is expressed in only pages then that is great. But having a large binder is really useful if done correctly and well. For example my invasive binder has a condensed part which summarizes all the major facts and things that a ES most likely asks. But on top of that I have raw info on all the species too like wiki pages so something I can use to look up something I did not add to the condensed form of the binder. So yea binder size does not equal wining but if your binder is really well put together big or small you can win. I think if a team has a lot of organized in a short space then you should ld be scared of them.

2 inches I believe. There are a lot of sheet protectors though.

I am to believe that the main way to tell is the difference in the bracts (sharp points under flowering portion of knapweed). Spotted Knapweed has mainly black bracts, while the diffuse knapweed has white bracts as well as a typical white flower
If anyone knows otherwise, please correct me.

So I have in my notes that the Tree-of-Heaven has male and female flowers in the same tree, but that it is dioecious?? Is the first part of information incorrect? Thanks!

My binder is 6.3 pounds, no sheet protectors.

There was a question at my regionals asking about japanese brome. It asked which animal's diet it was an integral part of. I've tried searching but I've found nothing. Can anyone help?

Maybe you could say butterfly larvae/caterpillars... according to the wikipedia page for the Bromus genus "The caterpillars of some Lepidoptera use Bromus as a foodplant, such as the Chequered Skipper (Carterocephalus palaemon)."

I wasn't sure because in our notes we have grazing animals eating other types of bromus.
Ive found a discrepancy in the total economic costs associated with invasive species. Ive seen 120, 127, 128, 129, and 138 billion. Which do I go with?
