Tonight was a good night for our students to showcase their research at the NC Entomological Society Annual Meeting. Can never go wrong with beer, falafel, and bug talk.
We have amazing grad students & love when they get the recognition they deserve. Our lab shined tonight at the NC Entomological Society annual meeting: Huge congrats to @L_gonzalezii (Outstanding PhD student) & Casey Wofford & @Kristin_Hilborn (1st and 2nd place posters)! 👏👏👏

Who’s ready for the Great Southeast Pollinator Census? 🖐️ We’ve got your counting sheet right here for you.
Happening Aug. 23-24, the census is a citizen science project that invites community members to observe and count pollinators.

If large-scale mortality of single genera (ash, elm) wasn't enough of a reason to diversify, a species-rich urban canopy reduces pests. Recent study found maples surrounded by many tree species had fewer scales than maples surrounded by only a few species.

We will cling to this hope! "...strong evidence to support predictions that the spotted lanternfly’s potential spread will be limited by increasing altitude & latitude, saving places like the Appalachians of North Carolina...from its depredations."

It's fascinating to see the rise of social media & community science in research. In our recent paper (@kellbelle416, @RobertJetton , & @drdavecoyle, JIPM 2023), we use research-grade iNaturalist records to support range maps & phenology of defoliators.

Y'ALL! Come work with us in this awesome *remote* postdoc opportunity in #foresthealth and #invasivespecies! We'll be looking at oodles of data on ALB infestations to improve our prediction capabilities. @KCookMathLab will coadvise (she's awesome, btw). Please RT!
It's official... Ohio has joined Club Elm Zigzag Sawfly, bringing the total number of states with this new invasive to 7. #elm#invasivespecies#elmzigzagsawfly
