Hemlock trees are in trouble because of the invasive #HWA - but I’m making a video with @kellbelle416 to walk you through what we can do about it!

Tonight was a good night for our students to showcase their research at the NC Entomological Society Annual Meeting. Can never go wrong with beer, falafel, and bug talk.

Such an honor to be in another of @KiwiYoung's famous "ussies"... the award was a nice touch though! Honestly-- so so humbling to be recognized among such a distinguished group of alumni. Incredibly lucky to have amazing mentors along the way.
Congratulations to our @NCSU_DEPP alumni awardees. Super proud to congratulate Kelly Oten and Tom Mitchell for their achievements and being alumni of our department.

That’s a wrap! Real reason we were in Ohio: Delaney & I (Kelly) visited to the @usfs_nrs #DutchElmDisease breeding program to make a video w @KathleenSKnight about #ElmZigzagSawfly. Was a blast to work w @UntamedScience! #EZSisreadyforhercloseup #oscarsbound #watchoutDuneII

Had a great visit to the @usfs_nrs lingering ash research program led by @treebreederKoch. There is hope… 🌳

Who’s ready for the Great Southeast Pollinator Census? 🖐️ We’ve got your counting sheet right here for you. Happening Aug. 23-24, the census is a citizen science project that invites community members to observe and count pollinators. Join the count: https://t.co/SABGl2fFQ0

If large-scale mortality of single genera (ash, elm) wasn't enough of a reason to diversify, a species-rich urban canopy reduces pests. Recent study found maples surrounded by many tree species had fewer scales than maples surrounded by only a few species. https://t.co/qCumiFWcwY

A study on scale infestations in urban trees adds evidence that diversifying urban tree plantings is a sustainable and effective pest management strategy.

We will cling to this hope! "...strong evidence to support predictions that the spotted lanternfly’s potential spread will be limited by increasing altitude & latitude, saving places like the Appalachians of North Carolina...from its depredations." https://t.co/gaUR9zgnCO

As the invasive spotted lanternfly spreads in the eastern U.S., a new study finds that northern ranges and higher elevations could escape its impacts.

It's fascinating to see the rise of social media & community science in research. In our recent paper (@kellbelle416, @RobertJetton , & @drdavecoyle, JIPM 2023), we use research-grade iNaturalist records to support range maps & phenology of defoliators. https://t.co/rt7s0r8B33

A new review offers best practices for bolstering entomological research with insect photo observations shared on iNaturalist and similar sites.

Y'ALL! Come work with us in this awesome *remote* postdoc opportunity in #foresthealth and #invasivespecies! We'll be looking at oodles of data on ALB infestations to improve our prediction capabilities. @KCookMathLab will coadvise (she's awesome, btw). Please RT!

Larger elm leaf beetle has been busy this summer in NC's piedmont! The good news? It probably won't harm your tree. https://t.co/Xwk0cTLcD1
