I investigate insect functional diversity in Cacao National University of Colombia, Medellin

Tiena Mei Elias

Graduate student, Integrative biology

My thesis project will investigate whether soil bacteria alter the interactions between corn and the corn leaf aphid.

Shan Brooks

Graduate student, Integrative biology

I'm investigating the role of land cover change on arthropod functional biodiversity. Previously, I've evaluated the effects of a pesticide on the Western flower thrip thermal sensitivity.
