Research interests

Invertebrate ecology

Our research focuses on sustainable pest control and insecticide resistance. Working closely with industry, we help develop new tools to combat insect pests, preserve biodiversity and improve biosecurity efforts.

  • Sustainable agriculture
  • Integrated pest management
  • Insecticide resistance
  • Invasion ecology
  • Biocontrol

Research projects

  • Insect pests and novel approaches for sustainable control
  • Insecticide resistance: mechanisms, modelling and monitoring
  • Genetics and ecology of beneficial insects in agricultural eco-systems
