I am particularly interested in insecticide toxicology and resistance evolution. We employ biochemical, molecular, and quantitative genetic approaches to assess the risk of resistance evolution and determine resistance mechanisms in order to develop scientifically based resistance management programs. Much of our current research is focused on the invasive species, <i>Drosophila suzukii<\/i> \u2013 the spotted wing drosophila. We also evaluate insect monitoring techniques, biological control, host plant resistance, and integrate multiple management tactics to provide a systems-level approach to pest management.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Associate Professor, University of Georgia, Department of Entomology Postdoctoral Research Scientist at Cornell University, 2013Postdoctoral Research Scientist at the University of California, Berkeley, 2010 &#8211; 2013Ph.D. in Entomology from Washington State University, 2010M.S. from the University of Greenwich ashsial@uga.edu(706) 542-1320 My research focuses on understanding the biology and ecology of economically important arthropod pests of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":77,"featured_media":0,"parent":10,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-with-sidebar","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-54","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/smallfruitentolab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/54","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/smallfruitentolab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/smallfruitentolab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/smallfruitentolab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/77"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/smallfruitentolab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/smallfruitentolab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/54\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":274,"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/smallfruitentolab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/54\/revisions\/274"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/smallfruitentolab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/smallfruitentolab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
