I am a postdoctoral researcher working on the effects of climate change resilient alternative cropping systems on pests (weed and insect) and beneficial insects (e.g., bees) at field and landscape scales. Since Mfc is a new invasive species for North America, details of its ecology are not known. Hence, it is important to determine its distribution range and abundance in cereal systems and natural grasslands. Our concerted sampling efforts funded through this project will help to seek ways to minimize the threats and impacts posed by this new invasive aphid in the Pacific Northwest.
