Dr Hoddle has headed the research in this
laboratory since 1997 and is primarily involved in the identification
of pest problems where biological control could be a successful
approach. The location, release and evaluation of natural enemy
impacts on population growth features strongly in his research.
The evaluation of biological control agents are conducted primarily in
the field and, when necessary, aspects of both pest and natural enemy
biology and behavior are studied in the laboratory.
