My research asks questions in the following basic areas:
  1. mechanisms of assembly dynamics of insect communities
  2. foraging decisions, behaviour and interactions between insects
  3. abiotic and biotic factors impacting insect community structure
My research asks questions in the following applied areas:
  1. food web approach to integration and use of greenhouse biocontrol agents
  2. error rates and method validation in PMI estimation using insects
  3. manipulation of insect behaviour in pest management

My research is applied in:
  1. Biological control in agriculture and forestry
  2. Forensic entomology
