BIO
Humans have strongly influenced insect pest evolution and ecology through host shifts, crop domestication, change in cultivation practices, and human-mediated translocations. My research studies these themes to determine how we can use ecological and evolutionary information to improve sustainable pest management.
Courses
- PSS 106 Entomology and Pest Management
- PSS 232 Biological Control
- PSS 296/396 Ecological Frontiers in Agroecology
Publications
Area(s) of expertise
Insect Ecology, Population Genetics, Agroecology, Evolutionary Biology, Insect-plant Interactions, Agroecology, Evolution, Epigenetics, Ecological Pest Management.
