Dr. Reed conducts interdisciplinary, collaborative research on invasive species at science-policy interface.
Thematic Area(s):
Allan is investigating how prescribed burns affect the spread of laurel wilt, an invasive insect-vectored fungal disease caused by Harringtonia lauricola.
Thematic Area(s):
Andrews’ research focuses on the biological control of Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (HWA). She is specifically establishing populations and studying the biology of two specialist predators of HWA, Leucotaraxis argenticollis and Leucotaraxis piniperda, in the eastern United States.
Thematic Area(s):
Dr. Bucholz’s work is focused on the ecology and population genomics of both native and invasive freshwater bivalve species.
Thematic Area(s):
Dr. Cunningham’s research focuses on applying principles of ecology and integrated pest management to understand eco-evolutionary dynamics for the long-term management of cancer.
Thematic Area(s):
Dr. Drake is interested in the intersection of landscape connectivity and population dynamics, bringing together conservation and spatial ecological theory to create more holistic and practical management solutions.
Thematic Area(s):
Hassett serves as the Research Support Specialist for all Endriss Lab students. While assisting with research projects and lab management, she also works on the lab’s science communication, extension, outreach, and public relations efforts.
Thematic Area(s):
Liu’s research investigates the disease dynamics of viruses in the invasive fire ant, Solenopsis invicta, and the interplay between virus prevalence and current baiting strategies.
Thematic Area(s):
Parizad examines the roles of invasive aphids and alternative host plants in barley yellow dwarf virus transmission to understand better how environmental changes affect its spread.
Thematic Area(s):
Ripa is researching how to limit non-native plant invasion of stream restoration projects and how both restoration and invasion might impact the soundscape, particularly as it relates to anuran communities.
Thematic Area(s):
Ruether studies chemically-mediated interactions between spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) and its host plants, tree-of-heaven and wine grapes.
Thematic Area(s):
Shively’s research explores the biocontrol of tree-of-heaven (Ailanthus altissima) with a soil-borne fungus (Verticllium nonalfalfae), as well as the restoration ecology of invaded areas.
Thematic Area(s):
Thompson’s research explores the ecological impact of Asian jumping worm (Amynthas agrestis) on soil ecosystems through analyses of soil properties, microbial enzymes, and microarthropod communities.
Thematic Area(s):
Dr. Yang studies invasive ants through an integrated approach combining genetics & genomics, behavior ecology and microbial interactions with a goal of developing biorational invasive ant management strategies that mitigate their impacts.
