Research projects currently in progress in my lab include:

(1) Biodiversity, demographics, and phylogeographic analyses of insect species associated with eastern hemlock in new and old growth forests (with Jerome Grant, University of Tennessee; Kris Johnson, Great Smoky Mountains National Park).

(2) Analysis of the establishment of the coccinellid Pseudoscymnus tsugae as a biological control agent against the exotic hemlock woolly adelgid with Jerome Grant, University of Tennessee; Kris Johnson, Great Smoky Mountains National Park).

(3) Morphology and biosystematics of immature pit scales (with Elzibeta Podsiadlo, National Institute of Entomology, Warsaw, Poland).

(4) Systematics of the Pit scales of North and South America (with Christof Stumpf, NC State University).
