## ESA FELLOWS

The designation of ESA Fellow recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions to entomology.

<figure><img src="image_125.png" /></figure>

**Dr. Ernest S. "Del" Delfosse**, professor and former chairperson of the Department of Entomology at Michigan State University (MSU), is internationally known for research on biological control, integrated pest management (IPM), tritrophic ecology, risk analysis, science-based biological control regulations, and administrative leadership.

Del was born in 1949 in Glen Ridge, New Jersey. His earliest recollection of collecting insects is stepping in a yellow jacket nest at about the age of five. Fortunately, he was wearing thick denim dungarees, which trapped hundreds of the wasps, preventing him from being stung. He received a B.Sc. in biology (University of Louisville, 1971), an M.Sc. in entomology (South Dakota State University, 1972), and a Ph.D. in entomology (University of Florida, 1975). He became research entomologist and supervisor at the Lee County Hyacinth Control District in Ft. Myers, Florida (1976-1979). He joined the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization in Canberra, Australia (1979-1991), where he became a principal research scientist and research leader. He returned to the USA as the first director of the National Biological Control Institute in Hyattsville, Maryland (1991-1996). He became a senior national program leader with the USDA-Agricultural Research Service (ARS) in Beltsville, Maryland (1996-2008). While with ARS, Del was acting laboratory director of the Northern Plains Agricultural Research Laboratory in Sydney, Montana (1991), and acting center director of the National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research in Peoria, Illinois (2007). He was chairperson of the Department of Entomology at MSU (2008-2013), and is now a professor there.

Del published 114 papers, abstracts, and invited book chapters on biological control, IPM, risk analysis, and ethics, and edited five books. He had 17 invited consultancies with groups such as the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations/International Atomic Energy Agency, the Government of South Africa, the Australian House of Representatives' Standing Committee on Industry, Science, and Technology, USDA, and Bilateral Panels with Mexico; chaired or co-chaired more than 40 conferences and workshops; and chaired over 20 grant panels. He received competitive grant funding of nearly $4 million. He mentored students in the USA, Australia, South Africa, and Europe. He developed the phenology-event relatedness testing procedure to clarify physiological versus ecological host range of biological control agents. Del presented more than 400 talks and posters, including 26 keynote addresses and 48 invited presentations. His service to ESA includes president (2011), chair of Section C (Ecology; 2001); chair of Section Ca (Biological Control; 2000); *Environmental Entomology* Biological Control subject editor (2002-09); chairing or serving on seven committees; teaching "Responsible Conduct of Research"; and judging student papers and posters. He was the first American to be elected

global president of the International Organization for Biological Control (1992-1996). He received more than 20 awards for his administrative leadership and research accomplishments, including three citations from the White House.

Del is an avid fly fisherman, and still avoids yellow jackets. He writes bad poetry and mediocre humorous essays. He has been married to the love of his life, Janet (an artist), for 46 years.

**Dr. Sanford D. Eigenbrode** is a professor in the Department of Plant, Soil, and Entomological Sciences (PSES) at the University of Idaho, where he is also a university distinguished professor. He pursues research on insect-plant and multitrophic interactions, sustainable production and biodiversity conservation in working landscapes, climate change and agricultural systems, and the

science and practice of cross-disciplinary collaboration.
Professor Eigenbrode was born in Evanston, Illinois, in 1948. He grew up principally in Stamford, Connecticut. He attended Cornell University, receiving his B.S. in biology in 1970. He taught chemistry and biology in the Ithaca City School District at the Lehman Alternative School, working closely with its founding director, David Lehman, and the other innovative educators there. In 1983, he returned to Cornell for graduate work, earning an M.S. in natural resources (1986) with David Pimentel and a Ph.D. (1990) with Tony Shelton, conducting research on resistance to diamondback moth in *Brassica* at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva. After graduation, he worked as a postdoc on host plant resistance in tomato with John Trumble at the University of California, Riverside. In 1993, he moved to the University of Arizona as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the NSF-supported Plant-Insect Interdisciplinary Program directed by Elizabeth Bernays. In 1995, he joined the faculty at the University of Idaho, progressing through the ranks and assuming the position of chair of the Division of Entomology in 2004, serving until 2014.

In science, Eigenbrode has striven to integrate fundamental discovery and application that supports sustainable agriculture. His major accomplishments include elucidating the effects of plant wax structure and chemistry on insect herbivores and their natural enemies, discovering chemically mediated interactions between plant viruses and their aphid vectors, and developing forecasting and decision tools to manage aphids and plant viruses. He has assumed leadership of broadly interdisciplinary projects that include entomology to address challenges to managing production systems and landscapes under drivers of change, most recently as director of a large USDA NIFA-sponsored coordinated agricultural project on cereal production systems of the Pacific Northwest under climate change. His efforts to improve scientific integration have included co-leadership in two NSF-IGERT projects, which has led to NSF-sponsored research on enhancing interdisciplinary communication and collaboration. Eigenbrode has published more than 120 scientific papers, 22 book chapters and review articles, and one co-edited book.

<figure><img src="image_127.png" /></figure>
He has graduated seven M.S. and five Ph.D. students and currently has one M.S. student in his group. He has mentored seven postdoctoral scientists.

Eigenbrode has presented more than 120 invited presentations at state, national, and international venues. He received numerous institutional awards including the rank of University Distinguished Professor at the University of Idaho, the 2011 Award for Excellence in Research, and the Award for Excellence in Interdisciplinary or Collaborative Efforts or Creative Activity.

His wife, Sara Pepper, works at the Paul Allen School for Global Animal Health at Washington State University in Pullman, Washington, and his daughter, Clare, will attend Beloit College in Wisconsin this fall.

**Dr. Marcos Kogan** is professor emeritus of agricultural entomology, University of Illinois (UIUC), and professor emeritus of entomology, Oregon State University (OSU). His research focused on the interactions of insects and plants, and mechanisms of constitutive and induced plant resistance to herbivores. He is recognized for work linking ecological theory with integrated pest management

(IPM) practice. With emphasis on soybean entomology, he promoted IPM in South America, Africa, and Asia.

Marcos was born in 1933 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where he began collecting and identifying insects at age 10. At the age of 20, Marcos married and spent the next four years in Israel. He worked in the fields of a collective farm, gaining appreciation for challenges of practical crop production. His later academic work was firmly rooted within this real-world experience. Marcos returned to Brazil and earned an agronomy degree from the Universidade Rural do Rio de Janeiro in 1961. After graduation, he was appointed biologist of the Instituto Oswaldo Cruz (IOC) in Rio. During that period he published papers on the biology and taxonomy of Coleoptera and Strepsiptera, and the biology of tomato and citrus pests. In 1966, with a Guggenheim Fellowship, he pursued a Ph.D. degree in entomology and biological control from the University of California, Riverside, graduating in 1968. The following year, after a short postdoctoral project at UC-Riverside on the taxonomy of a house-fly parasitoid complex, Marcos joined the Illinois Natural History Survey and UIUC. In 1991, he became director of the Integrated Plant Protection Center (IPPC) at OSU. He retired from OSU in 2003. He remains active in retirement studying extant and fossil Strepsiptera and writing on the history of IPM.

Throughout his 55-year career, Marcos authored/edited six books, including the first comprehensive treaty on sampling arthropods in row crops. He co-authored the only IPM textbook integrating entomology, plant pathology, and weed science. In 200+ book chapters, refereed journal and conference papers, and extension publications, he covered a wide range of basic and applied entomology. At UIUC, he developed a comprehensive soybean IPM program with strong international components. At OSU, he led IPPC to

become a center of excellence in IPM integration; focused on the ecological foundations of IPM; and took a lead role in a proposal to implement an area-wide IPM program for the codling moth on pome fruit crops in the three western U.S. states. The program, the first funded through the USDA-ARS, served as model for future area-wide IPM projects in the country. For his work, Marcos received several honors, including two Guggenheim Fellowships, an honorary doctorate from his Brazilian alma mater, a USDA-ARS recognition award for technology transfer, and awards from the Brazilian Entomological Society and the Brazilian Soybean Congress for contributions to IPM in Brazil. In 2000, he received the ESA Founders Memorial Award honoring, L.D. Newsom. Marcos has been married for 63 years to Jenny, a librarian and close collaborator; they have two children and three grandsons.

**Dr. Douglas Landis**, a professor in the Department of Entomology at Michigan State University (MSU), is internationally known for his research on the role of agricultural landscape structure in shaping patterns of insect biodiversity and in regulating arthropod-mediated ecosystem services.

Professor Landis was born in Sellersville, Pennsylvania, in 1958. He received his B.A. in biology in 1981 from Goshen College. He received his M.S. in entomology at North Carolina State in 1984 and his Ph.D. in entomology at North Carolina State in 1987. In 1988, he was a postdoctoral research fellow at North Carolina State University and visiting assistant professor at Duke University, before accepting a position at MSU in 1988. As the MSU field crops extension entomologist, he investigated biological control of the alfalfa weevil, potato leafhopper, and European corn borer. In 1996, he shifted into a research/teaching role at MSU, focusing on insect ecology and biological control. While at MSU, Landis has served as associate director of the Center for Integrated Plant Systems, and in 2013-2014 as interim chairperson of the Department of Entomology. Landis had held research leadership positions in the NSF-funded Kellogg Biological Station Long-Term Ecological Research program since 2003, and as biodiversity team leader in the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center since 2007.

Landis and collaborators pioneered the use of landscape structure to explain and predict the impact of shifting land use on ecosystem services, discovering that simplification of agricultural landscapes is associated with decreased pest suppression and increased reliance on insecticidal controls. Landis has published 135 peer-reviewed papers and 25 book chapters, including the seminal 2000 *Annual Review of Entomology's* "Habitat Management to Conserve Natural Enemies of Arthropod Pest in Agriculture." He has graduated 13 M.S. and eight Ph.D. students while serving on the graduate committees of over 100 students. He has also mentored 17 postdoctoral research scientists and 15 visiting scientists. Eleven of his former advisees hold professorships at U.S. and international institutions, while others serve as research

<figure><img src="image_130.png" /></figure>
scientists or educators with other universities, U.S. Department of Agriculture, MSU Extension, and in domestic and international nongovernmental organizations.

Landis has presented or coauthored more than 130 invited presentations and 201 contributed presentations. He received an MSU Distinguished Faculty Award (2013) and the Outstanding Alumnus Award from North Carolina State University, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (2013). He was awarded the ESA recognition Award in Entomology (2008) and multiple educational project awards from the Board Certified Entomologists of Mid-America (1996, 2001, and 2007). He has served the International Organization for Biological Control, Nearctic Regional Section, as member at large, secretary/treasurer, and president. He serves on the editorial boards of *Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata* and *Biological Control*, and advises international projects in the Netherlands and Argentina.

Landis and Joy, his wife of 37 years, enjoy combining travel with running, hiking, and mountain biking. Their daughter, Allison, is a child therapist, and son, Jonathan, is a technology consultant.

**Dr. Ronald J. Nachman** is an ST Supergrade scientist at the Southern Plains Agricultural Research Center, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), College Station, Texas. He is internationally known for research on insect neuropeptides, their structural/conformational characterization, physiological/behavioral roles, and design of biostable, bioavailable mimetic

analogs as neuroendocrinological tools and as leads in development of novel, safe pest management agents.

Dr. Nachman was born in Maryland in 1954, moved to Colorado in 1955, and then to California in 1963. He attended Revelle College, University of California, San Diego (UCSD), doing undergraduate research on unusual odd-numbered fatty acids in Antarctic organisms at UCSD's Scripps Institution of Oceanography. He received a B.S. in chemistry from UCSD in 1976, and a Ph.D. in organic chemistry from Stanford University in 1981 doing neurochemical research. He joined the USDA's Western Regional Research Center, Albany, California, in 1981, doing research on natural products of poisonous plants. During a post as visiting scientist in Nobel laureate Roger Guillemin's Laboratory for Neuroendocrinology at the Salk Institute (1985), he shifted his research focus to insect neuropeptides. In a second post as visiting scientist at the Department of Molecular Biology, Scripps Research Institute (1988-1989), he studied the active conformations of insect neuropeptides. He moved to the USDA laboratory in Texas in 1989.

Nachman identified the structure of sulfakinins, sulfated insect neuropeptides with homology to the mammalian gastrin/CCK family and shown to inhibit food intake in several insect species. He established the first active conformation of an insect neuropeptide and the conformations of several others, and utilized that knowledge to develop potent, biostable

neuropeptide mimetics that a) prevent cotton bollworm pupal entry into the diapause state (including topically active forms on pupae), thereby inducing them to commit a form of "ecological suicide"; b) reduce desiccation survival in flies; c) block sex pheromone production in heliothines with capability to traverse the cuticle; d) selectively, reversibly disrupt Malpighian tubule fluid secretion in flies; e) match the oral potency of several commercial aphicides; and f) elicit fly-away aversive behavior in mosquitoes and led to the discovery of neuropeptide receptors in the taste neurons of sensilla of leg/mouth parts, opening new targets for discovery of novel deterrents. Nachman has published 235 scientific papers (*Science*-2, *PNAS*-9) and seven patents, co-edited four books, was section editor (Invertebrate Neuropeptides) of first and second editions of the *Handbook for Biologically Active Peptides*, was guest editor for 15 special issues of *Peptides* on "Invertebrate Neuropeptides," and serves on editorial advisory boards for *Peptides* and *Pesticides*. He serves as president of the Invertebrate Neuropeptide Society of the International Neuropeptide Society (INS), and co-organizes the annual, international Invertebrate Neuropeptide Conference (INC) from 2000 to present.

Major awards have included the Arthur S. Flemming Award (1993), ARS/USDA Distinguished Scientist of the Year Award (2012), Lodz University of Technology Distinguished Medal (2014), INC Invertebrate Neuropeptide Award (2016), and election to Fellow of the INS (2000) and American Association for the Advancement of Science (2011).

He is married to wife Isidora, and they enjoy international travel, photography, and reading.

**Dr. Leslie Pick**, professor and chair of the Department of Entomology at the University of Maryland (UM), is internationally known for her work on the function and evolution of genes regulating embryonic development in insects, with much of her work using the powerful genetic tools available for the model insect *Drosophila melanogaster*.

Dr. Pick grew up in the Bronx, New York.

She attended the Bronx High School of Science, but not until after graduation from Wesleyan University did she discover her love for science. As a young college graduate unsure of career direction, she was fortunate to get a job as a research technician with renowned developmental geneticist Salome Gluecksohn-Waelsch. She went on to earn a Ph.D. degree from Albert Einstein College of Medicine with Jerry Hurwitz (1986), studying biochemical mechanisms involved in RNA processing. Dr. Pick did postdoctoral research with Walter Gehring, Basel, Switzerland, where she began her studies of *Drosophila* molecular genetics. Dr. Pick took her first faculty position at the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, New York City (1990). She moved to the Entomology Department at UM in 2003 and became chair of that department in 2013.

Dr. Pick's early work investigated the regulation of genes that control embryonic development using *Drosophila* as a model system. In more recent years, she expanded her research

<figure><img src="image_133.png" /></figure>
program to study the functional evolution of regulatory genes that had been identified in *Drosophila* in a range of other insects representing diverse developmental strategies. These "evo-devo" studies have revealed unexpected variation in the expression and function of Hox and other embryonic transcription factors, along with rewiring of regulatory networks controlling insect segmentation. Her studies have also included investigations of insulin signaling pathways, using *Drosophila* as a model for diabetes. Finally, work in Dr. Pick's lab is investigating the use of genetic technologies for insect pest control.

Dr. Pick has devoted significant effort throughout the course of her career to mentoring, with an emphasis on graduate education. She served as director of the UM graduate program in molecular and cell biology and is program director for an NIH-T32 training grant that supports graduate students. She has trained nine postdoctoral fellows, 15 graduate students, and numerous technicians, undergraduates, and high school students in her lab. Dr. Pick's research has been supported by the NIH, NSF, USDA, and private foundations such as the March of Dimes. She has served on grant review panels and as program director at NSF, and received a 2015 UM Distinguished Scholar-Teacher Award. Dr. Pick has published over 50 scholarly articles, and has edited several compilations, most recently a *Current Topics in Developmental Biology* volume entitled "Fly Models of Human Diseases."

Dr. Pick resides in Columbia, Maryland, with her husband, Ron Kohanski, a biochemist. She has two children, Alex and Emma, and three stepchildren, Michael, Anna, and Samson. Alex is completing a double major in theater and Slavic studies at Northwestern University, and Emma, a high school sophomore, is a dancer with plans to study fashion design.

**Dr. Peter W. Price** is Regents' Professor Emeritus at Northern Arizona University and author of the classic textbook *Insect Ecology*. He was born 14 miles south of London in Carshalton Beeches, Surrey, England, on April 17, 1938. Boyhood activities included Boy Scouts and natural history, with a preference for plants. In secondary school he was a member of the soccer, boxing, and

athletics teams. Each summer his family camped near the north Devon coast on the southwest English peninsula. He served two years in the Royal Air Force as a radar technician in West Germany.

Price earned his B.S. Honors (1962, forestry) from University College of North Wales and M.S. (1964, forest entomology) from University of New Brunswick in Canada. He was then employed in the Canadian Forest Service as a research entomologist. He obtained his Ph.D. (1970, ecology and evolutionary biology) from Cornell University with a research focus on the coexistence of parasitoids on the Swaine jack pine sawfly. Following his Ph.D., Price was an assistant and associate professor in the Department of Entomology, University of Illinois, where research developed into the study of three trophic-level interactions between natural enemies, insect herbivores, and plants. In 1979 he joined the Museum

of Northern Arizona as a research ecologist. The following year he accepted a professorship in the Department of Biology, Northern Arizona University, where he retired in 2002. He published over 200 research papers, with the most cited paper being his 1980 paper co-authored with his graduate students, "Interactions Among Three Trophic Levels," which has been cited nearly 2,000 times.

Price's field research concentrated on insect ecology: plant and herbivore interactions, multiple trophic-level interactions, population dynamics, and the distribution and abundance of insects. He focused particularly on the ecology and long-term population dynamics of galling sawflies. He hypothesized that evolved characters of organisms, such as morphology, behavior, and life history, strongly influence ecological relationships—a concept captured in his book, *Macroevolutionary Theory on Macroecological Patterns*. Price also authored *Evolutionary Biology of Parasites* and *Biological Evolution*; the co-authored *Insect Ecology: Behavior, Populations and Communities*, and co-edited *Evolutionary Strategies of Parasitic Insects and Mites, A New Ecology and Plant-Animal Interactions*. He has served on the Archbold Biological Station Scientific Advisory Board, and been recognized with a Guggenheim Fellowship and Fulbright Senior Scholar Award. In 1993, the Entomological Society of America gave Price the Founders' Memorial Lecture Award for honoring Curtis P. Clausen. An interview of Price was featured in *American Entomologist* in Spring 2016.

**Dr. Daniel A. Strickman**, senior project officer at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is a medical entomologist who, through a series of many kinds of jobs, has had the pleasure to experience entomology from basic research to practical application.

Dr. Strickman was born in San Diego, California, in 1953. His interest in entomology began with an insect collection in eighth grade. Attending Dartmouth College for two years in 1971-1973, he transferred to the University of California, Riverside, in order to take an entomology course, but ended up staying until graduation with a B.A. in biology in 1974. Going immediately to graduate school at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, he studied floodwater mosquitoes with Dr. William Horsfall, receiving his master's degree in 1976 and his doctorate in 1978. Dr. Strickman's first job was in the Peace Corps serving as a professor at the National University of Asunción, Paraguay.

**Dr. Matt Thomas**, professor in the Entomology Department at Penn State University, is recognized internationally for his work on the ecology and evolution of pests and vector-borne diseases.

Thomas is originally from the United Kingdom and obtained his B.Sc. at University College Cardiff and his Ph.D. at the University of Southampton. From 1991 to the end of 2002 he worked as

a postdoc and research fellow at the Centre for Population Biology at Silwood Park, Imperial College. He then took up a position as a senior lecturer and then reader in population biology and biological control at Imperial College. At the end of 2005 he joined CSIRO Entomology in Australia as a senior principal research scientist. In 2008 he moved to the U.S. as a professor of entomology at Penn State University. In 2012 he became the Huck Scholar in ecological entomology, a named chair in lieu of distinguished professor.

Research in the Thomas lab (http://www.thethomaslab.net/) explores many aspects of the ecology and evolution of insect pests and diseases with the aim of better understanding the consequences of global change and improving the effectiveness and sustainability of pest and disease management. The research combines empirical and theoretical approaches to address issues of fundamental and applied significance. He has worked in many systems and on diverse topics, including host-pathogen interactions, predicting and understanding the impact of invasive species, biodiversity and ecosystem

health, and many aspects of biological control. In recent years he has tended to focus on transferring knowledge and insights from ecology and agriculture into the public health arena. Current projects include research on the effects of environmental temperature on transmission of vector-borne diseases, understanding the consequences of insecticide resistance for malaria control, and developing and evaluating novel control tools for the development of improved integrated vector management. He currently manages a funding portfolio of around $14 million, including support from NIH, NSF, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

He has published widely—approximately 200 publications—with numerous papers in "high-impact" journals. There are numerous examples where his research has contributed practical outcomes, reflecting a desire not only to advance scientific understanding but also to have an impact in the real world. This outcome-oriented research includes foundational work on habitat manipulations to enhance biocontrol (beetle banks), development of optimal use strategies for use of biopesticides in locust control, development of risk assessment frameworks for invasive species and the safe introduction of natural enemies, and development of novel tools for the management of insecticide-resistant malaria vectors (fungal pathogens and "eave tubes"). He currently serves as director of the Ecology Institute at Penn State and is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Thomas is married with two teenage kids and has a fondness for English beer, classical guitars, and fishing.

He returned to *icipe* in 2007 as principal scientist and research leader of the Behavioral and Chemical Ecology Unit.

Torto has made unique discoveries in the field of vector-host interactions, demonstrating that malaria parasite infection in mosquitoes can influence vector responses to plant odors and their feeding, opening up new avenues for vector control. Also, his lab pioneered work into the development of more
efficient semiochemical-based tools for monitoring vector populations of Rift Valley Fever, dengue, and malaria. He has also led genetic studies to reveal unique population structure of primary RVF vectors that coincide with the pattern of the disease outbreak in Kenya, and implemented an integrated community-based surveillance of RVF in order to minimize the public and veterinary health impact of the disease. Additionally, he has been at the forefront of research into understanding the impact of pests and diseases for improved bee health. More recently, he has initiated work on entomophagy, an area increasingly being recognized as having a huge potential to feed the ever growing rural and urban population in Africa. He has given several plenary and keynote presentations at national and international conferences. He has published 104 peer-reviewed scientific papers, including three patents and six book chapters.

Torto has mentored nine postdoctoral fellows and 36 graduate students (10 M.Sc. and 26 Ph.D.), and more than 50 undergraduate interns, many of whom have received prestigious awards across the globe.

**Kiran Gadhave** (International Branch) is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Georgia (UGA). He has pursued his master's degrees from Tamil Nadu Agricultural University and from Cornell University, and his Ph.D. from the University of London. So far, he has published seven peer-reviewed papers, five as a lead and two as a contributing author, in leading entomology, ecology, and microbiology journals. Two of his papers are currently being revised, and two more are in preparatory stage for the submission to *Ecology and Soil Biology and Biochemistry* (invited review) journals. In his academic pursuits, he has won four prestigious scholarships, a poster prize, and 10+ travel awards and field study grants. His research in the past few years has focused on microbes-plant-insect interactions, beginning with insect- and plant-associated bacteria and moving more recently to plant viruses. For his Ph.D., he has worked on a multidisciplinary research project investigating the interactions between soil bacteria, plant-insect herbivores, and higher trophic levels. This work showed that plant-associated bacteria have dramatic effects in altering endophytic bacterial community, altering life history of the cabbage aphid, and reducing the populations of cabbage aphid in field conditions. Over the years, he has communicated his research through nine oral (four invited in symposia) and five poster presentations, and has built a number of collaborations with leading experts across the globe. His current research at UGA seeks to explore vector-virus-natural enemy interactions in cucurbit systems through an array of behavioral, biochemical, and molecular techniques, with an ultimate aim of reducing vector populations and viral incidences. While advancing his quest in understanding how a suite of microbial species shape host (plant and insect) interactions in manipulated and natural settings, his future research seeks to exploit the potential of these microbial players in addressing major ecological and agricultural issues.

**Anthony “Justin” McMechan** (North Central Branch) is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Entomology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) under the supervision of Dr. Gary Hein, with an August 2016 graduation date. In addition, he graduated in May 2016 from the Doctor of Plant Health (DPH) Program at UNL. DPH is a professional program designed to develop plant practitioners with broad expertise and experiences across all disciplines that impact plant health and the comprehensive management of plant production systems. The combination of these doctoral programs has allowed Justin to take an interdisciplinary approach in his dissertation research to address risk assessment of over-summering hosts for the wheat-mite-virus complex in winter wheat. Internships through the DPH program also provided extensive experience in extension programming, the incorporation of technologies for disseminating information, and the development of

interactive software to demonstrate field-to-field movement of mites and virus. Justin's philosophy is that growers do not encounter production issues from a single discipline, hence we should make every effort to understand, develop projects, and provide solutions that address issues at the multidisciplinary level. Justin recently accepted a position as extension assistant professor in the Department of Entomology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with the goal of developing an interdisciplinary research and extension program with a focus on integrating crop protection and management of cropping systems in eastern Nebraska. Justin has authored/co-authored eight research publications, and he has given 20 scientific presentations (four invited). He has won several oral and poster competitions at ESA, NCB-ESA, NC-APS, and ASA-CSSA-SSSA meetings. Justin has been active in the department's graduate student organization and departmental teaching and outreach activities.

**Dr. Rebecca Schmidt-Jeffris** (Pacific Branch) received her Ph.D. in entomology from Washington State University in 2015, under the direction of Dr. Elizabeth Beers. She received her B.S. in biology from Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas, in 2010. Her prior studies have focused on improving sustainability in agriculture by understanding factors that affect pest and natural enemy populations in perennial and annual cropping systems. Rebecca's primary interests are using conservation biological control and landscape ecology to inform integrated pest management practices. Her dissertation research investigated phytoseiids as biological control agents in apple orchards and included augmentative releases, diversity surveys, behavioral and pesticide bioassays, phenology monitoring, and the investigation of tritrophic interactions. The research indicated that changing pest management practices had substantially altered the predatory mite community, which now includes a previously rare species. She is currently a postdoctoral research associate at Cornell University, working with Brian Nault to investigate the effects of landscape and management practices on European corn borer populations in vegetable and field crops. Rebecca enjoys participating in ESA and has chaired the Student Affairs Committee, and is currently the co-chair of the ICE Student Affairs Committee and represents the Plant-Insect Ecosystems Section on the Student Transition and Early Professional Committee. In these roles, she has organized many events, including symposia, the Student Debates, the Branch text messaging competition, and a Lunch and Learn. Rebecca has received the ESA Student Activity Award and the Pacific Branch Leadership Award. She hopes to eventually serve the agricultural community as a professor with a research and extension appointment, or in USDA-ARS.

**Derek A. Woller** (Southwestern Branch) began his entomological journey in Texas as a high school senior after taking up insect collecting as a hobby, and has been deeply involved in the field since. After traveling across the U.S. and back again to obtain two other degrees, he is now pursuing his third degree as a Ph.D. candidate under the guidance of Dr. Hojun Song in the Department of

Entomology at Texas A&M University. Derek's primary interests are taxonomy and systematics, with possible aspirations of becoming a curator or collections manager of an insect collection. He also derives much satisfaction from teaching, having taught seven unique courses at two universities. Additionally, he has been invited to give presentations on his research and insects, in general, to classes from kindergarten to college, for seminars, and in symposia at ESA conferences and beyond. He has also co-organized multiple symposia focused on orthopteroids at ESA conferences. Derek is heavily engaged in entomological outreach and passionately believes such educational endeavors are one of the best ways to generate interest in insects and science.

Derek's dissertation research is focused on unraveling the evolutionary history of a group of grasshoppers known as the Puer Group, consisting of 24 species (Orthoptera: Acrididae: Melanoplus). Tiny and flightless, they inhabit scrubby, xeric habitats in the southeastern United States (primarily Florida) and are predominantly separated into species by their highly divergent male genitalia, similar to Darwin's famed finches and their unique beaks. Based on observational evidence, this geologically young group appears to have speciated via geographic isolation and genitalia evolution. This means the Puer Group makes an excellent living laboratory to better comprehend the biological black box that is speciation, which Derek is attempting to do by synergistically combining taxonomy and systematics, biogeography, ecology, genetics, geometric morphometrics, sexual selection, and 3D reconstructions.

**Dr. Blake Wilson** (Southeastern Branch) began his career in entomology working as a laboratory assistant during the final semester of his undergraduate work at Louisiana State University (LSU). After receiving his B.S. in biology, Blake began his M.S. thesis in entomology/experimental statistics under Dr. T. E. (Gene) Reagan. Blake's thesis research focused on host plant resistance and insecticidal

management of the Mexican rice borer in sugarcane in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. In 2013, Blake began his Ph.D. studies in entomology at LSU under Dr. Reagan and Dr. Julien Beuzelin. Blake's dissertation research focused on development of pheromone trapping strategies for monitoring and management of the Mexican rice borer. Blake received his Ph.D. in May of 2016, and is currently working as a postdoctoral researcher in sugarcane entomology at LSU. His research experience also includes IPM of stem borers in sugarcane, rice, bio-energy feedstocks, and conventional and transgenic corn. He has also studied management of the sugarcane aphid in sugarcane and grain sorghum. During his career, Blake has been active in research and extension activities for two of Louisiana's most important commodities, sugarcane and rice. He has published 10 peer-reviewed research articles, 10 Arthropod Management Test reports, and numerous extension publications. His research has been presented more than 40 times at professional society meetings in addition to many extension outreach presentations. Blake has previously received the Kirby L. Hays Award for outstanding M.S. student and the ESA President's Prize.

approaches to crop protection. Her research interests also encompass the potential impact of such technologies on non-target organisms, particularly beneficial insects, including pollinators such as bees and natural enemies such as parasitoids and predators.

Professor Gatehouse is regarded as one of the most influential scientists working on GM crops in the world. She has made outstanding contributions to both basic and applied entomology. She and her group have been among the first to show the compatibility between biotechnology-based crop protection and biological control using beneficial insects. The breadth of the research is impressive, encompassing not only the development of insect-resistant genetically engineered crops and novel biopesticides, but also the basic biology of both pest and beneficial insects. She and her group are probably best known for elucidating plant mechanisms of resistance and leveraging these in GM plants; recognition of lectins and proteinase inhibitors as potential insecticidal factors was an early success.

The results of the research have immediate application in farming, enhancing pest control without use of chemical insecticides. More recently, she and her group have used functional genomics to better understand the molecular responses of plants to biotic stress to inform crop-breeding programs. She has partnered with other scientists and industry to evaluate alternative agricultural practices to understand their limitations and form a rational basis for agricultural decisions and counter resistance to GM technology.

Professor Gatehouse runs an international laboratory with postgraduate students and researchers from around the world. She is known as an inspiring teacher, dedicated supervisor and collaborator, actively involved in long-term projects in other countries. She is passionate about public engagement with science and has made time to give interviews on radio and television and has been featured on BBC's "Tomorrow's World"; she has also contributed to "Week of Science Festival" to attract school children to science.

Professor Gatehouse's generous, imaginative, and cutting-edge contributions to entomology and agriculture make her a worthy recipient of this award.

The translational impact of Dr. Cardé's research cannot be overstated. His research program has been at the core of methodologies utilizing pheromones to trap, detect, monitor, and manage insect pests, primarily focused on pestiferous Lepidoptera. His group has made breakthroughs in understanding mosquito orientation to host odor.

In addition to training many of the world's top chemical ecologists, he has also had a strong impact on popularizing entomology with the publishing of *The Encyclopedia of Insects*, and *A World of Insects*, which makes insects understandable to a lay audience.

Dr. Cardé's work has helped foster an appreciation and understanding of insects by both the scientific community and the public in general. His accomplishments have directly and significantly increased our ability to fight and manage noxious insects and opened up new ways of understanding how insects behave, evolve, and interact with their environment. Dr. Cardé's legacy of students and postdocs continues to add to this body of knowledge.

**Professor Maureen Coetzee** is director of the Wits Research Institute for Malaria, School of Pathology, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand (Wits), Johannesburg, South Africa. She holds a research professorship in medical entomology and vector control, supported jointly by the Department of Science and Technology and the National Research

Foundation through the South African Research Chair Initiative. She obtained both her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees at Wits.

We recognize Professor Coetzee's lifetime contribution to building fundamental and applied knowledge of African

malaria vector mosquitos, mainly of the *Anopheles gambiae* and funestus groups. Studies have ranged from classical to modern molecular taxonomy, field work in malarial areas, use of genetics, and molecular techniques to understand molecular mechanisms conferring resistance and to monitor genetic development of pyrethroid resistance. Mosquito surveys, including behavioral studies and insecticide resistance, have been carried out in 16 African countries. All knowledge has been firmly grounded in practical applications to control the spread of malaria via vector control, shared with other countries and international bodies responsible for policy, such as WHO. This extraordinary body of work has been achieved by a small group of professional researchers, postgraduate students, and limited support staff.

These studies have made highly valuable contributions to the community and quality of life. The sudden 1999-2000 malaria epidemic in South Africa was brought under control, saving thousands of lives and reducing infection rates, through effective cooperation between Professor Coetzee and the South African Department of Health.

Professor Coetzee has supervised 20 M.S. and 18 Ph.D. students from 13 African countries, many of whom have remained active in this research field and have returned to head vector control programs in African countries or work for organizations such as WHO. She has served on numerous local and international committees, most recently the Malaria Policy Advisory Committee (MPAC) of the WHO Global Malaria Programme that reports to the highest levels of WHO on policy for malaria control, elimination and eradication.

Professor Coetzee's contribution to an African problem, researched long term, intensely, and effectively, and widely shared through direct personal contact, training, and collaboration throughout the continent and elsewhere, is both unique and invaluable.
