Specialization and Areas of Particular Interest:
Insect physiologist interested in host/parasite interactions and rearing
of lepidopteran hosts and their parasites, and diapause physiology. Toxicologist
interested in insect growth regulators that selectively kill target pests
without harming beneficial arthropods, especially in aquatic systems.
Education:
B.S. in Forestry, University of Missouri 1971
Ph.D. in Entomology, University of Missouri, 1976.
