A few research programs I’m involved in are featured in an At Guelph article — find it here. The School Malaise Trap Project it discusses, which begins classroom visits Feb 26, has a newly minted website.
My name was dropped, as were the details of a couple of projects (here and here) I worked on with Leland Humble, in Friday Feb 24th’s edition of the National Post. You can find the article here.
Our article describing a preliminary inventory of native and exotic Lepidoptera in Vancouver’s Stanley Park (deWaard et al 2009) was discussed by two federal government periodicals. The first is following an interview I did with Monique Keiran of the Canadian Forest Service, Natural Resources Canada, and is found in ‘Information Forestry’, a periodical that covers research at the Pacific Forestry Centre [pdf, pp. 8-9].
The second is a Canadian Food Inspection Agency publication called ‘Science Scan’ that discusses research articles concerning animal and plant health, particularly those that pertain to emerging pests and pathogens [pdf, pp. 4-5].
The Smithsonian/NMNH Department of Entomology puts out a short newsletter describing, among other things, the projects of visiting researchers. Stephanie Kirk and I are featured in the Winter 2010 edition detailing our September 2009 to January 2010 projects [pdf].
Our recent paper in Biology Letters was discussed over the holidays in Mark Stoeckle’s Barcode of Life Blog. Check out his post here.
Our recently published study on moth diversity in Stanley Park was featured in the Vancouver Sun today. Thanks to Larry Pynn for the comprehensive write-up.
