| Migration and dispersal are important aspects of the
biology of many agricultural pests, including soybean rust, whiteflies,
and emerald ash borers. Members of our committee are working to understand
and predict these processes to improve approaches to preventing crop
injury by pests.
NCERA-148 is a group of research scientists from across the United
States and beyond. The committee provides a forum to discuss our
work on migration and dispersal, and for coordinating joint research
and outreach projects. We meet annually to update the committee
on our progress, and reports from participating states can be found
in this website.
Our group includes entomologists, plant pathologists, ecologists,
and climatologists. These disciplines are brought together in a
multi-disciplinary approach to address issues of relevance to US
agriculture.
This website contains information on upcoming meetings, employment
opportunities, reports of past meetings, and contact information
for members of our group.
If you are interested in attending a meeting or joining our committee,
