Gratton Lab at ESA 2017
Several of the Gratton Lab members travelled to Denver in early November for the annual meetings of the Entomological Society of America.
Claudio helped to organize two symposia, while a few Gratton lab members gave talks.
Brian Spiesman – talk entitled: “Landscape-scale resource continuity for enhanced biological control”
Jeremy Hemberger – talk entitled: “Temporal resource pulse decreases bumble bee foraging duration across central Wisconsin agricultural landscapes”
Mike Howe – “Pine engravers carry bacterial communities whose members reduce concentrations of host monoterpenes with variable degrees of redundancy, specificity, and capability”
Hannah Gaines Day – “Do managed bees have negative effects on wild bees?”
It was a very productive few days, and the group is already looking forward to ESA 2018 in beautiful Vancouver, BC!
