Research Interests

Forest Entomology, Insect Ecology, Plant-Insect Interactions, Chemical Ecology

We study processes that affect the population dynamics of forest insects. We place particular emphasis on aspects of host plants that affect:

Our goals are to integrate mechanisms operating across multiple levels of scale, link pattern and process to develop comprehensive understanding, and apply this understanding to protect the diverse values of natural resources. We engage in collaborative multidisciplinary research on the basic biologies of forest insects that pose challenges to natural and managed forest ecosystems. Some of these issues include:
