Margaret T. Lewis

Margaret T. Lewis studies insect pest management in agricultural and horticultural systems, with a strong focus on the invasive fruit fly Drosophila suzukii (spotted-wing drosophila) and its impacts on berry and small fruit crops. Her work combines field ecology, insecticide resistance monitoring, and pest control strategies to help growers manage pests more sustainably, and she also examines how farming practices affect broader insect communities like ground beetles and other beneficial arthropods.

Publication output has been modest and fairly steady over the past decade, with a small peak around 2019-2020 and roughly one publication per year in recent years.
