Assessing pest control treatments from phenology models and field data. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciAbstractBACKGROUNDEfficacy of insecticides is often determined from apparent yield loses due to a target pest. However, pests can affect yields even when controls work as expected. Further, most pest populations are monitored through adult counts without procedures to assess dynamics of immature stages.

Moths passing in the night: Phenological and genomic divergences within a forest pest complex [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2022 AbstractTemporal separation of reproductive timing can contribute to species diversification both through allochronic speciation and later reinforcement of species boundaries. Such phenological differences are an enigmatic component of evolutionary divergence between two major forest defoliator species of the spruce budworm complex: Choristoneura ...
