Zeus Mateos‐Fierro

Zeus Mateos-Fierro studies how insects affect fruit and vegetable farming, focusing on pollination in crops like sweet cherry and conference pear, and on pest control methods such as the sterile insect technique for spotted wing drosophila (a fruit fly pest). Their work often examines how farm management practices, such as planting wildflower strips or using polytunnels, influence pollinators, pest-control insects, and resulting crop yield and quality. This research is largely applied, using field studies and systematic reviews on commercial farms.

Publication output has grown steadily over the last decade, rising from zero or one paper per year before 2019 to three to four papers per year in 2023-2025.
