Research
Focus
|
|
I
am interested in many aspects of ecology, including conservation
biology, population dynamics, invasive species, and life-history strategies.
My research focuses on invertebrates, particularly moths
(Lepidoptera) in temperate forests, their predators, parasitoids, and
pathogens, and the interaction between caterpillars, their host
plants, and environmental factors. However, many questions that
interest me are not specific to this fascinating and diverse group of
organisms, but apply broadly to the fields of community, population,
and evolutionary ecology.

Current Projects
|
|
- Mechanisms underlying tussock moth (Lymantriidae)
invasions in North America
|
|
- Population dynamics of
forest tent caterpillar.
|
|
- The decline of native giant
silk moths (Saturniidae) in New England
|
|
- Conservation of the federally-listed Karner
blue butterfly.
|
|
- Habitat structure and
conservation of the barrens buck moth in the pine barrens ecosystems.
|
|
-Non-target effects of
transgenic trees on herbivorous insects

Note to prospective
graduate students:
I encourage graduate students to pursue topics of their own
interest. Prospective students with a variety of backgrounds in
entomology, ecology, invasive species, or conservation biology are
urged to apply. Please contact me if you are interested in graduate
research in my laboratory.
