Kylle Roy studies Rapid 'Ōhi'a Death, a fungal disease devastating 'ōhi'a trees (Metrosideros polymorpha) in Hawai'i, with a focus on the ambrosia beetles that spread the causal Ceratocystis fungi. This work spans forest pathology, insect-fungus interactions, and management strategies such as chemical repellents (semiochemicals) to reduce beetle attacks and disease spread, plus related fungal disease detection in other tree species (e.g., Palau) and community perceptions of tree disease.
Publication output has grown over the last decade, rising from about 1 paper/year in 2017-2018 to a peak of 7 in 2025, indicating an increasing pace of research activity.
