Personal information

forest entomology, chemical ecology, insect behavior, woodborers, natural enemies

Biography

I am broadly interested in how insects use and integrate information from their environments to make decisions. Additionally, I am interested in how physiology can modify the strength of responses by insects to external cues. I am specifically interested in how woodboring insects and their natural enemies locate and utilize resources, and how this relates to the concepts of generalist and specialist insects. I wish to use the results of my research to inform management of beneficial or damaging insects in forest ecosystems.
