Dr Irvin and Dr Pilkington are members of Applied Biological Control Research who are heavily
involved in researching the biological control of the economically
important insect pest Homalodisca
vitripennis, or the glassy-winged sharpshooter. Current
research that is being undertaken in the research group includes the
effect of temperature on reproductive and developmental biology of
several parasitoid wasps species, the manipulation of floral resources
in citrus crops to enhance parasitoid longevity in the field, the
effect of glassy-winged sharpshooter produced brochosomes on wasp
oviposition and research into the ovigenic characteristics of the
parasitoid wasps. |
