Career Trajectory
Bio
As a research scientist at the Lethbridge Research and Development Centre, I study a range of topics that center on the theme of insect community ecology with application for pest control. Early in my career, I began studies on the biology and ecology of parasitic wasps (Pteromalidae) for use as biocontrol agents for flies affecting livestock. This led to an interest in Wolbachia bacteria, which infect an estimated 20-80 percent of all insect species and which can have profound effects on the reproduction of their insect hosts.
We also study insects that co-occur with pest flies in cattle dung. Results from some of these studies document the non-target effects of faecal residues, on insects breeding in the dung of cattle treated with veterinary pharmaceuticals. This information is being used to develop international guidelines for the registration of new veterinary products. Other studies examine the role of dung beetles (Scarabaeidae) in degrading cattle dung to maintain the ‘health’ of pasture ecosystems.
