Current Research Activities
Biological Systems and Organisms
My lab studies the ecological and evolutionary origins of insect pests in agriculture, while seeking new approaches to managing them sustainably. Research in my lab is focused on the following themes: - How crop domestication and selection shape species interactions. - Rapid evolution of a globally-successful insect pest, the Colorado potato beetle - Low-input approaches to managing new invasive species
