[Entm-beu] summer research opportunity

[John Heraty]

Hi all,

My name is Mel, and I am a graduate student in Dr. Wilson's agroecology lab here in the department. I am conducting research on the newly invasive pest the black fig fly (Silba adipata) that has been infesting figs all over the state. 

This summer session, I am looking for entomology undergraduate students to help me with data collection for research credits (up to 4 units through ENTM 197). Experiments will include a trapping study to refine a monitoring program for the fly, a soil study, and an investigation into the host selection behavior of the fly. 

Students will generally focus on data collection with opportunities for learning data management and basic statistical analysis. We can also talk about conducting your own small studies throughout the summer as well!
  
If you are interested, please send me (mthay002 at ucr.edu <mailto:mthay002 at ucr.edu>) a brief blurb about yourself! I can't wait to hear from y’all!

Sincerely,

Mel
