Background

The study of insect abundance and distribution.

I am an insect ecologist by "bent" and my students and I work on various applied and basic research areas. We generally take an individuals-process based approach to the study of insect abundance and distribution. We use various "model" systems to ask questions ranging from the effect of host chemistry on oviposition behaviour and early stage caterpillar survival, to the effects of learning on oviposition behaviour at a landscape level and the effects of climate on insect abundance. I prefer to work on Butterfly-plant interactions, particularly Monarchs and milkweeds.

A substantial amount of our applied research has been on the ecology and biology of Helicoverpa spp, the major pest of Australian field crops, and more recently Diamondback moth, a key pest of horticulture.

Available projects

  • Food utilization efficiency in neonates of a polyphagous caterpillar

    Newly hatched caterpillars are a critical stage in the life cycle of butterflies and moths. Yet few studies have assessed how well first instars convert food intake into body mass.

  • Optimal foraging in Lepidopteran larvae - or sabotaging the right meal size

    Caterpillars of the milkweed butterflies have to first sabotage the latex based defense system of their host plant before they can feed. Is the area isolated by vein snipping and trenching behaviour sufficient for a caterpillar to complete an instar?

  • Egg size and survival of first instar caterpillars on host plant

    Species within the Lepidoptera lay eggs of different sizes. Generally the bigger the butterfly the bigger the egg, but not always. Is the survival of neonates on host plants related to initial egg size.

  • Caterpillar foraging when predators are around

    Do caterpillars adjust there feeding behaviour in response to the presence of predators?

  • Pollen feeding in adult Lepidoptera: getting a nitrogen fix

    Many adult butterflies and moths have pollen adhering to their mouth parts. Are they able to utilise the pollen as a food source?

  • Is there empty suitable habitat for plant feeding insects?

    Ever wonder why there is so much greenery that is seemingly not eaten by insect herbivores? Is the food simply not suitable or is it not used for other reasons?

  • Metapopulation dynamics and the matrix revisited

    Do butterflies use the matrix or is it just treacherous landscape?

  • Predicting potential range and abundance of invading species

    How well can we "predict" the range and abundance of species that have recently established in new geographic locations?
