Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Insect

His main research concerns Agronomy, Pollen, PEST analysis, Ecology and Bacillus thuringiensis. He merges Agronomy with Field corn in his study. His work on Pollinator as part of general Pollen research is frequently linked to Genetically modified maize, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His PEST analysis study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Pesticide resistance, Overwintering and Integrated pest management. His work focuses on many connections between Integrated pest management and other disciplines, such as Crop, that overlap with his field of interest in Brown marmorated stink bug and Pentatomidae. In his research on the topic of Ecology, Pesticide toxicity to bees and Pesticide is strongly related with Zoology.

His most cited work include:

  • Impact of Bt corn pollen on monarch butterfly populations: A risk assessment (426 citations)
  • Pesticide exposure in honey bees results in increased levels of the gut pathogen Nosema (314 citations)
  • Colorado Potato Beetle Resistance to Insecticides (286 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, PEST analysis, Horticulture, Colorado potato beetle and Ecology. The Crop and Pest control research he does as part of his general Agronomy study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Bacillus thuringiensis, Genetically modified maize and Field corn, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His study looks at the relationship between PEST analysis and fields such as Brown marmorated stink bug, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His Colorado potato beetle study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Spinosad, Leptinotarsa and Imidacloprid. Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Toxicology under Imidacloprid, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Honey bee. Much of his study explores Ecology relationship to Zoology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (49.61%)
  • PEST analysis (20.93%)
  • Horticulture (17.05%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Agronomy (49.61%)
  • Crop (11.63%)
  • Imidacloprid (10.85%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Agronomy, Crop, Imidacloprid, Helicoverpa zea and PEST analysis are his primary areas of study. His Neonicotinoid study, which is part of a larger body of work in Agronomy, is frequently linked to Genetically modified maize and Field corn, bridging the gap between disciplines. His research investigates the link between Crop and topics such as Growing season that cross with problems in Conservation Reserve Program, Riparian zone, Cultural control, Pest control and Trap crop.

In his study, Leptinotarsa is inextricably linked to Metaflumizone, which falls within the broad field of Imidacloprid. Helicoverpa zea is connected with Genetically modified crops and Bacillus thuringiensis in his research. His work carried out in the field of PEST analysis brings together such families of science as Nuisance, Toxicology, Diapause and Introduced species.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Regional pest suppression associated with widespread Bt maize adoption benefits vegetable growers. (77 citations)
  • Evaluating a polyculture trap crop for organic management of Halyomorpha halys and native stink bugs in peppers (16 citations)
  • Laboratory rearing of Halyomorpha halys : methods to optimize survival and fitness of adults during and after diapause (12 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Insect

Galen P. Dively spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Helicoverpa zea, Genetically modified maize, Genetically modified crops and Bacillus thuringiensis. His Agronomy research integrates issues from Trophic level and Epigeal. His Helicoverpa zea study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Pollen.

Among his Genetically modified maize studies, there is a synthesis of other scientific areas such as Resistance, Climate change, Outcrossing, Larva and Purple corn. Other disciplines of study, such as Integrated pest management, Agricultural biotechnology, Field corn and European corn borer, are mixed together with his Genetically modified crops studies. His studies deal with areas such as Pest control, Cultural control, Pepper and Growing season as well as Crop.
