Lead Scientist & Research Entomologist

**Research**
- Identify and characterize soybean lines resistant to soybean aphid and advantageous to aphid predators.
- Survey bees (Apoidea) in eastern South Dakota.
- Understand the ecology and geographic distributions of lady(bird) beetles (Coccinellidae).
- Co-PI on soybean insect projects funded by the North Central Soybean Research Group.
- Co-PI on Lost Ladybug Project ( http://www.lostladybug.org/ ). Documents the spread, habitat use, and impact of invasive lady beetles and determines the status of three native, but declining species of lady beetles.
