The small hive beetle is a pest of honey bees, but it can also be deployed in beneficial ways. New research shows small hive beetles can be reared on excess pollen, and their pupae and frass can be converted into animal feed and biomanure. buff.ly/jN0ilVY

Excited to share my new article in American Entomologist! It examines how enhancing access to research experiences enhances graduate education and our scientific community

New research offers red clover growers a trap-based method to combat the lesser clover leaf weevil, reducing insecticide use while protecting pollinators.

A peek at Episode 28 of the Pests & Predators Podcast 🦸♂️
@Jeremyirvine uncovers his research on the economic entomology of the lesser clover leaf weevil in red clover seed production (NE Sask/Peace River Region).

Good Bugs, Bad Bugs by @EntSocSK is such a hit with @aitcsk each year, they asked @USaskEnt lab of @usaskplsc to bring a specialized talk on #bees and #pollination

It's almost time to discuss #wheat insects @TopCropMag #TopCropSummit after hearing about "The future of Gene Editing" .

I am looking for a postdoc to join a large project sampling plants and soils from across Canadian prairies to identify genomic indicators (plant genotypes, eDNA, soil biome) of ecosystem function. This person would work with the team to integrate data, with significant latitude.

Don't forget to stop by our symposium to learn about leafhopper research at ESA 2024. We got amazing early career speakers such as @Edel_PLopez and myself! @ECP_Entsoc @EntsocAmerica

Interested in electropenetrography (EPG)?
Join us for a joint session with plant and animal people who are using this technique to learn more about the feeding behavior of their critters 🦟🦟

Join me next week at #EntSoc24, the @EntsocAmerica Annual Meeting! I will present the implications of drought and soil microbial communities on pollinators and work on Aster leafhoppers and Aster Yellows Phytoplasma! Be sure to catch all of the other talks from our lab @USaskEnt!

The only known insect-vectored disease in #canola, aster yellows is often first spotted in plants that are noticeably taller than the rest of the crop, through the flowering to podding stages.

Here is our table, designed by @ZhouNx from the @USaskEnt in her MSc project determining the economic threshold for #peaaphids in #lentils Science. = It's not just a wild-ass guess anymore.

We just started a search for a postdoc to join my lab group to study honey bee microbes through some collaborative/interdisciplinary projects. We will review applications through Aug 19. Full ad here: igb.illinois.edu/sites/defau…
