NOTABLE ITEMS FOR 2010

2010 was characterized by both significant challenges due to on-going spending freezes and reductions in state

appropriated funding for academic, extension and research programs. Despite these challenges our teaching,

research and extension programs have continued to excel, although efforts have had to become more focused.

Our graduate students and faculty were recognized for their outstanding accomplishments during 2010. Six

graduate students were recognized. Jessica Houle received the President’s Award for her display presentation at

the 2010 Annual Meeting of the Entomological Society of America. Nancy Maxwell was awarded 3rd

place for

her display presentation at the 2010 North Carolina Entomological Society Meeting and Banquet and was also

awarded a scholarship from the North Carolina Association of Environmental Professionals. Kelly Oten

received 2nd

place in the Natural Resources division of the 2010 NCSU Graduate Student Research Symposium.

Virna Saenz was awarded the 2010 North Carolina Pest Management Association Indoor Urban Entomology

Scholarship. Diane Silcox received the North Carolina Entomological Society Outstanding Master’s Student

Award and the Entomological Society of America Larry Larson Graduate Student Award for Leadership in

Applied Entomology. Elenor Spicer received an NCSU Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award

Among the faculty, Charles Apperson received the Distinguished Achievement Award for Leadership in

Medical Entomology from the Society for Vector Ecology; George Kennedy was named Honorary Member of

the Entomological Society of America in recognition of his contributions to Entomology and the ESA, Clyde

Sorenson was Named Alumni Distinguished Undergraduate Professor, and David Tarpy received the Eastern

Apicultural Society James I Hambleton Award for Excellence in Apicultural Research.

During 2010, the faculty generated a total of 2,984 undergraduate and 596 graduate student credit hours, and 4

MS and 4 PhD students received their degrees. Seven new MS students (Clay Chu, Lena Guisewite, Kevin

Langdon, Patricia Mullins, Sarah Prado and Jiwei Zhu) and 4 new PhD students (Colin Funaro, Connie

Johnson, Sriyanka Lahiri and Mauren Turcatel) joined the Department to pursue their graduate education.

Faculty, students and post-docs actively published and extended their findings, producing a total of 2 book

chapters, 67 refereed papers, 20 non-refereed publications, 14 abstracts and/or proceedings papers, 37 extension

publications, 112 popular press and newsletter articles, and 7 internet articles. They were also highly visible at

regional, national and international scientific meetings, making a total 105 submitted and invited presentations.

A total of $2,571,570 in new funding was generated by faculty in 2010. Sources of this funding were:

competitive grants (70%), unrestricted gifts (21.6%), commodity grants (5.4%), and North Carolina

Foundations and Centers (3%). This represents 14.7% of the total $17,536,559 in faculty generated extramural

funding in effect during 2010.

The Entomology Graduate Student Association continued its outstanding public education program, conducting

a total of 39 outreach educational programs that exposed at least 4742 children and adults to the interesting and

exciting world of insects.

During 2010 Lane Kreitlow was appointed as adjunct assistant professor in Entomology. Lane is an

entomologist with the NC Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Consumer Affairs, and teaches our Forensic

Entomology course (ENT 305). There were also 2 faculty retirements. Charles Apperson, William Neal

Reynolds Professor, retired after 34 years on the faculty, during which time he maintained an outstanding

research and extension program in medical and public health entomology. Charles will continue to maintain his

grant-funded, internationally recognized research program for several more years and will be housed in the

Dearstyne Laboratory. Mike Stringham also retired late 2010 after 19 years as an Extension Specialist

addressing arthropod management issues in the poultry and livestock industry. In addition, Ester Belikoff was

appointed as a Research Assistant working on insect transformation under Fred Gould in the Genetic Pest

Management Program, and Jackie Cohen was appointed as a Visiting Research Assistant working in the Insect

Rearing Program. Four new post-doctoral research associates (Thomas Chappell, Juliana Rangel-Posado,

Alvaro Romero and Jacob Van Kretshmar) also joined research programs within the Department.

2010 ACTIVITIES

NCSU INSECT MUSEUM

R. L. BLINN

We are currently into the second year of a NSF Collections Improvement Grant. Databasing of

the specimens continues. Collecting event data is captured for all new material accessioned into

the Museum collection. Likewise specimen data for the ―Insect of the Week‖ is also captured as

well as specimens for other taxa in the Museum. Label information for the holotypes has been

captured and we are working on systematically working through the collection one family at a

time. The imaging of museum drawers using a technology known as Gigapan continues. To

date all of the Homoptera, Lepidoptera, Orthoptera, Neuroptera, parasitic Hymenoptera and other

smaller groups have been imaged. The Gigapan images give a panoramic view of the drawer

and allow the viewer to zoom in on individual specimens. These images can be viewed on the

Museum web site under the Specimen tab.

Eight Malaise traps were set up during the year in Durham and Scotland counties and were

serviced every couple of weeks. Routine activities for the year included checking naphthalene

level in the pinned collection, alcohol level in the vial collections, processing specimens from

unmounted bulk samples, critically point drying the parasitoids and other fragile specimens and

continued sorting and identification of undetermined material to family level or below.

Many individuals were assisted or trained in photographing insect specimens using the Stereo-

Microscopic Digital Imaging Station. Through our online presence, users elsewhere are becoming

increasingly aware of the Insect Museum as evidenced by many requests for detailed specimen

information on material held here. The blog portion of the Museum’s web site continues to be an

active and popular portion of our public outreach being viewed by hundreds of people from

around the country and world.

New accessions (processed material) to the Museum for the year totaled 8,820 lots (8,809 pinned

and 11 vials). Included in these accessions were 9 gifts. These numbers do not reflect the

thousands of specimens still in alcohol waiting to be sorted and processed. Fourteen new loans

were issued during 2010 (852 specimens) and 7 were returned (1,192 specimens). Individuals

visiting the Museum this year totaled 89. This included 20 professionals, some of which stayed for

several days or longer to work with our material.

Systematists affiliated with the Museum volunteered at the 2010 Bug Fest, a BioBlitz in Durham

Co. and Darwin Day (Raleigh) and assisted with tours of the Museum and outreaches to local

schools (displays used on 16 occasions) and judged 4-H insect collections at the NC State Fair.

Abney, Mark R., Assistant Professor and Extension Specialist. Ph.D. North Carolina State

University. Extension 75%, Research 25%. Vegetable production is a vibrant and growing

segment of the North Carolina agricultural economy, and the goal of my extension and research

programs is to strengthen the vegetable industry by improving the economic and environmental

sustainability of pest management strategies. Extension goals include the delivery of state of the

art pest management information to North Carolina’s vegetable growers through a variety of

educational outlets. My research focuses on the ecology and management of insect pests of

commercial vegetable crops in North Carolina. Major emphasis is placed on providing

science-based information to address problems in insect pest management and enhance the

effectiveness of the vegetable extension program at NC State University. Primary interests are in

developing/refining economic thresholds, managing insecticide resistance, and improving

sampling procedures in agronomic systems.

Apperson, Charles S., William Neal Reynolds Professor. Ph.D., University of California,

Riverside. Extension 51%, Research 49%. Development of extension demonstration and

education programs on community pests such as mosquitoes, flies, ticks and fire ants. Integrated

Extension 100%. Cotton insect management, extension state project leader. Some applied

research responsibility for corn, soybean and wheat. Implementation of IPM-based insect

management systems for producers, agents and consultants via an emphasis on population

monitoring and agronomic inputs which minimize insect pressure. Applied research emphasis on

1) evaluating the status of potential cotton insect pests in North Carolina's changing agricultural

agroecosystem, 2) determining insect damage relationships and insecticide use pattern changes in

conventional and transgenic cotton systems, 3) assessing the relationship between cotton plant

phenology and its attractiveness and susceptibility to economically important pest species, and 4)

developing and refining insect pest thresholds on conventional and on caterpillar-tolerant cotton,

with an emphasis on stink bugs. Educational program on prevention, detection and remediation

of cotton pest problems conveyed via traditional means and through our Cotton Insect Corner

web page (www.run.to/cotton <http://www.run.to/cotton>). Aid in the team teaching of ENT

592, and provide selected lectures in courses related to insect pest management.

Bambara, Stephen B., Extension Specialist. M.S., NCSU. Extension 100%. Main

responsibilities involve ornamental and turf insects in the homeowner and Lawn & Garden store

settings. Duties involve agent and master gardener training and consumer education in these

areas. Current direction emphasizes the "ten most important" ornamental insect pests. Additional

responsibilities covered are 4-H Entomology (emphasizing curriculum development), insect

pests stored grains and forage crops. Other activities involve turf pests of home lawns and Lucid

Key development to Bark Beetles of SE USA and choosing a fire ant insecticide.

Burrack, Hannah J., Assistant Professor. Ph.D., University of California, Davis. Extension

75%, Research 25%. Extension program develops and distributes information on integrated pest

management in tobacco, small fruits, and specialty crops to growers and county based agents.

On farm demonstration and research trials are a key component of these extension efforts.

Research projects include landscape ecology studies of phytophagous arthropod pests of tobacco,

blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, and grapes; economic threshold revision; and studies of

pest & pollinator behavior, particularly as it impacts preference, performance, and crop

production strategies. Both research and extension efforts are inherently multidisciplinary and

involve colleagues in North Carolina and throughout the southeast. Co-teaches graduate level

course & seminars and teaches a fellowship & grant writing seminar. Coaches department

Linnaean Games team.

Cardoza, Yasmin J., Assistant Professor, PhD, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL. Research

80%, Teaching 20% with focus in Soil Arthropod Ecology. Dr. Cardoza's research program

employs a multidisciplinary approach to elucidating the mechanisms driving insect pest

interactions with their environment, particularly in agricultural systems. Topics of research in her

lab include:

1) Host plant-insect interactions; 2) Evaluation of host plant resistance and biological control to

manage plant pests; 3) Multi-trophic interactions; 4) Insect behavior and chemical ecology and

5) Interactions between arthropods and mutualistic and/or pathogenic microorganisms. Dr.

Cardoza also teaches ENT601E/801E Plant-Insect Interactions, and ENT 601A/801A - Insect

Mutualisms - with Dr. Jules Silverman and partakes in the teaching of other courses such as Dr.

Orr's ENT 591-791A-Organic Agriculture and Dr. Hain's ENT 604/804-Insect Natural

History and Field Ecology. She is teaching ENT 731 Insect Ecology in Fall 2010. She is also an

active member of the student/farmer teaching workshops at Center for Environmental Farming

Systems (CEFS, Goldsboro, NC).

Deans, Andrew R., Assistant Professor. Ph.D. University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.

Teaching 20%, Research 80%. Research program focuses on the systematics of parasitic wasps

(Hymenoptera), especially the families Evaniidae, Ceraphronidae, and Megaspilidae, and the

development and implementation of ontologies in descriptive taxonomy and morphological

phylogenetics. Deans also serves as the director of the NC State University Insect Museum,

where his responsibilities revolve around the databasing and exposure of specimen data,

including specimen images. Deans also maintains the Insect Museum blog to facilitate outreach

and increase awareness of the importance of natural history collections. Teaching responsibilities

include Systematic Entomology (ENT 502), which is a core class for Entomology graduate

Roe, R. Michael, William Neal Reynolds Distinguished Professor, Ph.D., Louisiana State

University. Research 80%, Teaching 20% (courses taught--Insect Systems; Advance Insect

Morphology and Physiology; Molecular Entomology; Professional Development for the

Entomologist; Professional Development for Toxicology). High throughput cDNA sequencing,

microarray analysis, digital gene expression, RNAi and bioinformatics are being used to study

mite, insect and tick development and reproduction and to obtain novel insecticide targets for the

development of new strategies for plant genetic pest management of insect pests such as plant

bugs, stink bugs, thrips, caterpillars, fire ants, and mosquitoes. These same methods are being

used to study the effect of tick host and repellent exposure and infection on global gene

expression. Synethic organic synthesis, the development of novel polymer chemistry and

applications in proteomics and molecular biology are being used to investigate macromolecular

movement across the insect digestive system and cuticle, stabilization of proteins and nucleic

acids in the insect hemocoel, plant systemic technology, and specific tissue targeting as part of a

general interest in insecticide discovery and development. The lab is also a leader in the

development of diagnostic technologies for the detection of insect resistance to insecticides in

agriculture and medical entomology and for the detection of transgenic insect control systems.

We are currently expanding our work from moth pests to plant bugs, stink bugs and mosquitoes;

and in the process of developing new hydrateable meal pads and novel plasticware for off the

shelf kits. We are also interested in the research and development of repellents for use on

humans and in animal production to control ticks, mosquitoes, flies as well for other

applications, i.e., bedbugs, house dust mites, cockroaches and other pests. This research includes

the development of new repellent chemistries and novel formulation and application

technologies, bioassay development, molecular effects, and human and animal testing with the

goal of producing commercial products. Our most recent success is the development of a new,

fast acting (natural) herbicide. Research is also underway to develop automated recognition

software for smart phones for applications in toxicology, vector arthropods, general insect and

plant identification, etc. The lab is active in technology transfer and provides students and

postdocs practical experience in product discovery, research, patenting strategies, industry-

academic cooperation and commercialization. At the same time, the group is engaged in the

latest in molecular technologies; interdisciplinary work with Chemistry, Toxicology, Nuclear

Watson, D. Wesley, Professor. Ph.D., University of Nebraska. Research 70%, Extension 25%

Teaching 5%. Veterinary Entomology is the study of arthropod pests associated with livestock

and poultry. Pest problems often arise from the activities of domestication and culturing of

livestock for food. Livestock and poultry pest management involves a diversity of host animals,

their respective parasites and diseases, and how these problems impact humans. North Carolina

animal agriculture includes a variety of production-based commodities, poultry, swine, cattle,

and non-production equestrian. Beef and Dairy cattle production in North Carolina is generally a

small farm operation. Swine and poultry production is well represented in the state and horses

are a growing industry. Pests, particularly muscoid flies, become a nuisance for humans living

nearby and may result in litigation. Commodity group surveys indicate that among poultry

producers, flies and darkling beetles are of major concern for their potential to transmit disease

and become a nuisance. Cattle and horse producers are concerned with pasture flies, barn flies,

ticks and tick borne disease. Concerns of the swine producer include cockroaches and flies, and

their disease transmission potential. Management is key to successful pest reduction. The

integration of existing and novel management strategies provides balance and innovation to

sustainable animal agriculture. My research concentrates on establishing disease and disease

transmission potential of targeted pests and to develop management practices under the IPM

canopy, focusing on these pest issues. Such integrated strategies include cultural, biological,

mechanical and when needed, chemical control. We are currently investigating the role of house

flies and other arthropods in maintaining biosecurity on poultry, swine and diversified farms.

This project targets the dissemination of foodborne pathogens on and between farms, and in the

community. IPM plays a vital role in improved biosecurity. A second study is investigating

pesticide alternatives for the management of horn flies on beef and dairy cattle. Horn fly

densities have been reduced to below threshold levels on cattle using a variety of alternative

71

practices, including naturally occurring insect repellents and walk through fly traps. As a result

of this effort, no insecticides have been used for horn fly control in over 5 consecutive years.

Technologies developed by the program have far reaching impacts for both conventional and

organic livestock production. This pest management effort is currently showcased at the Center

for Environmental Farming Systems, Goldsboro, NC and on commercial farms in the piedmont

region of North Carolina.

Wiegmann, Brian M., Professor. Ph.D., University of Maryland. Research 89%, Teaching 11%.
