Research in the Vegetable Entomology Lab focuses on the ecology and management of arthropods that occur in vegetable production. We are interested in pollination, chemical ecology, biological control, habitat management, insect transmitted plant diseases and behavioral pest management.
Super excited to get this experiment started next month- read my post to learn more about how @msuvegent and I are looking at how #insect communities in #squash are affected by prairie strips! 🐝🪲 https://twitter.com/KBSLTER/status/1537437977697062912 Our newest @KBSLTER Fellow blog post is up! @entojen shares her experience collaborating with @LandisEntoLab in #prairiestrips to explore how they change insect community dynamics and biodiversity in squash farms. https://lter.kbs.msu.edu/2022/06/jen-zavalnitskaya/ We recently started using tablets instead of paper for data collection in the field, using #appsheet. What apps or digital methods do you use? How do you integrate it with R? So excited to share this review looking at the direct & indirect implications of extreme heat on pollination between bees & crops with you all!🐝☀️Had a blast working on this with the wonderful @Jenna_M_Walters with the help of our amazing mentors @msuberrybugs and @msuvegent! https://twitter.com/Jenna_M_Walters/status/1521909573514403841 HOT OFF THE PRESS: excited to share me and @entojen FIRST first author paper in @cois_cris highlighting the impacts of extreme heat on pollen, pollination, and pollinators 🧵 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cois.2022.100927 Congratulations to @KayleighCH3, @entojen, Natalie Constancio and @maxwellidae for the many @MSUEntomology awards they received! Well deserved!
