Overview

Daniel A. Potter is affiliated with the University of Kentucky in the United States and has a research focus primarily in the field of Agricultural and Biological Sciences. Their work spans several interdisciplinary subfields including Insect Science, Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, Genetics, Social Psychology, and Ecology. This diverse range reflects a broad approach to understanding biological systems and insect-related phenomena.

Their research topics cover various aspects of plant and animal studies, insect and pesticide research, insect and arachnid ecology and behavior, as well as education in animal and plant science. Additional specialization includes forest insect ecology and management, turfgrass adaptation and management, and insect-plant interactions and control.

Notable recent publications authored or co-authored by Daniel A. Potter include:

  • Invasive paper wasp turns urban pollinator gardens into ecological traps for monarch butterfly larvae (2020, Scientific Reports)
  • Suitability of native milkweed ( Asclepias ) species versus cultivars for supporting monarch butterflies and bees in urban gardens (2020, PeerJ)
  • Non-Native Non-Apis Bees Are More Abundant on Non-Native Versus Native Flowering Woody Landscape Plants (2022, Insects)
  • Dwarf White Clover Supports Pollinators, Augments Nitrogen in Clover-Turfgrass Lawns, and Suppresses Root-Feeding Grubs in Monoculture but Not in Mixed Swards (2021, Sustainability)
  • The direction, timing and demography of Popillia japonica (Coleoptera) invasion reconstructed using complete mitochondrial genomes (2024, Scientific Reports)

Frequent collaborators in their research include Adam M. Baker, Carl T. Redmond, Francesco Nardi, Sara Boschi, and Rebecca Funari. Their publication venues further reinforce their focus, with multiple works appearing in Scientific Reports and the Proceedings of the 2022 AERA Annual Meeting. Other venues include PeerJ, Insects, and Sustainability.
