Matthew D. Ginzel studies the chemical ecology of forest insects, especially bark and ambrosia beetles, and their interactions with fungi and host trees. Much of his work focuses on detecting and managing tree pests and diseases, such as thousand cankers disease of black walnut and the walnut twig beetle, using pheromones and other chemical attractants or repellents. His research combines insect behavior, plant pathology, and molecular diagnostic tools to improve pest detection and management strategies in forestry and agriculture.
