Scott and I ventured into Cleveland this Independence Day to pick up his bee bowls and conduct floral diversity sampling. It was hot and we may have been a little loopy at the end due to a bit of heat exhaustion...but hopefully we got some good data for Scott's project!

The Agricultural Landscape Ecology (ALE) Lab is located in the Entomology Department at The Ohio State University in Wooster, OH. We study beneficial arthropods. We are interested in how disturbances within the landscape such as agricultural management practices, invasions of exotic species, and land use changes influence beneficial arthropods and the ecosystem services they provide such as pollination and herbivore suppression. In this blog we will post information about our research and outreach activities as well as current happenings in the lab.
Interesting post. I have been wondering about this issue,so thanks for posting.
