I am recruiting a PhD student in Entomology to begin in January 2027. The selected student will study scale insect biological control in urban trees. See the attached flyer for details. My lab website describes the type of research we do: caleb-j-wilson.com

We just published a new paper on the regeneration of white and green ash in forests that have been invaded by EBA for 15-20 years. The good news is that white ash is still regenerating, but large trees continue to die at high rates. Full paper is available here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1kXsv1L%7E...

Hi new followers. I don't post often, but to give you a sense of what I've been working on, here is a short article I wrote a few months ago. The article summarizes a recent paper from my postdoc examining how tree diversity influences emerald ash borer in post-invasion forests.

I love that multiple research papers on urban pollinators suggest this is an issue where small actions make a big difference for little animals. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Patches of wildflowers in cities can be just as good for insects as natural meadows – study

Researchers found no difference in the diversity of species in urban meadows compared with those in rural settings
