Integrated Pest Management
Bio Brief
My background is in insect ecology, insect behavior, and biological control, particularly of aphids. I am interested in developing improved IPM programs for the management of insect pests of field crops on the High Plains, particularly in the integration of biological control with other control tactics. Examples include host plant resistance, agronomic and cultural practices, and insecticide seed treatments, all of which are important components of field crops IPM with the potential to interact with biological control agents and impact beneficial species.
Education
M.S. Pest Management, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby BC Canada,
Ph.D. Entomology, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby BC Canada,
Post Doctoral Associate , University of Florida, Citrus Research and Education C, 1996 - 2002.
Research
My research program has several areas of focus. One is the ecology and behavior of lady beetle species that are important biological control agents of cereal aphids on the High Plains, primarily Hippodamia convergens and Coleomegilla maculata. Recent work has addressed maternal and paternal effects in these species and the causes and consequences of cannibalism behavior in different life stages. The recent invasion of sugarcane aphid on grain sorghum has stimulated a new focus of research into biological control and host plant resistance as tactics for managing this pest in the central Great Plains. Other work is investigating the non-target impacts of insecticidal seed treatments on beneficial insects in sunflowers and the selectivity of new insecticides for control of cereal aphids. I also collaborate on a range of biological control research projects in various foreign countries.
