Tadashi Takizawa

Associated with the William Snyder Insect Ecology Lab

Areas of Interest: (1)Community ecology, in particular, interactions among predators and it's influence on community structure. (2) I am also interested in biological control on pest population and species invasion based on predator-predator interactions.

Current Project: The relationship between diversity of natural enemies and aphid suppression.
