DIY EPG
We received good news that Manjari requires more space for her EPG work, so the group made another Faraday cage.

Modeling thermoregulators
Working with Aaron Tarone of Texas A&M Entomology and members of his group, we have been developing insect phenology models that account for thermoregulatory behavior. These models are intended for use in predicting vector and pest dynamics, and in retrodicting events of forensic importance that can be indicated by insect development. We’re happy to have…

Roy’s soilborne inoculum work
Roy spent plenty of time in the laboratory quantifying Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum (Fov) DNA from field soil, and some of his work is now reported in a Plant Disease publication: https://doi.org/10.1094/PDIS-08-21-1664-RE The work’s objective was to describe spatial variability in Fov inoculum density in the field, because that variation is hypothesized to affect…

Roy’s LARS work
Roy’s collaboration with other researchers using unmanned aerial systems led to an application recently published in Agronomy. doi: 10.3390/agronomy10050633 Roy set out to make use of available low-altitude remote sensing data. Available data are often more useful than unavailable data, in practice. Work led us to recognize that data generated through LARS are different from…
