Member Symposium

Plant-Insect Ecosystems

Model Behavior: Consequences of Insect Behavior on Phenological and Ecological Modeling

Sunday, November 5, 2023
10:30 AM – 12:30 PM ET
Location: Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, Maryland A

In-Person

    Organizer(s)

  • TC

    Thomas Chappell

    Assistant Professor
    Department of Plant Pathology and Microbiology

    Caldwell, Texas

  • JH

    Jensen Hayter

    Postdoctoral Research Scholar

Modeling processes that involve insect behavior is the topic of this symposium, with focus on behavioral mechanisms and their effects on modeling. Research on thermoregulatory behavior, interspecies interactions, and vectored-disease systems will be presented, and the symposium will conclude with discussion to compare systems, modeling approaches, and results.
