I am interested in Ichneumonidea wasps and how they interact with their community. On island systems like Hawai’i, invasive parasitoid wasps can be especially damaging to endemic arthropods. I hope to explore why some invasive parasitoid wasps are so ‘successful’ by having vastly diverse host ranges.
