Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher studies how agricultural pest-control practices, especially insecticide seed treatments (neonicotinoids) and genetically modified crops, affect insects both harmful and beneficial, such as corn rootworm, honey bees, and other non-target species. Much of the work examines whether these pest-management tools move through soil, water, and plants, and whether they provide real crop protection benefits versus unintended environmental costs. The research also touches on broader pest-management policy and strategies like integrated pest management (IPM) and habitat diversification to support beneficial insects.

Publication output has fluctuated over the past decade with peaks in 2017 and 2025 and quieter years in between, suggesting an uneven but ongoing pace of research activity rather than a clear upward or downward trend.
