Woodbridge A. Foster studies the biology and behavior of mosquitoes, especially how they interact with plants and floral odors, and how these interactions affect their ability to transmit diseases like malaria. His work spans mosquito feeding, courtship, predation, and pollination behaviors, with an eye toward using this knowledge to improve vector control strategies. This research is relevant to students interested in insect behavior, disease ecology, and public health approaches to controlling mosquito-borne illness.
