Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Insect

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Aphid, Aphididae, Sex pheromone and Pheromone. His studies deal with areas such as Horticulture and Odor as well as Botany. His work carried out in the field of Aphid brings together such families of science as Entomophagous parasite, Host, Kairomone, Olfactometer and Acyrthosiphon pisum.

The various areas that Lester J. Wadhams examines in his Olfactometer study include Black bean aphid, Antenna, Electrophysiology and Aphis. His Sex pheromone study incorporates themes from Molecular genetics, Ecology, Insect olfaction and Biochemistry. The Pheromone study which covers Nepetalactol that intersects with Zoology, Megoura viciae and Sexual reproduction.

His most cited work include:

  • Identification of Semiochemicals Released During Aphid Feeding That Attract Parasitoid Aphidius ervi (380 citations)
  • The Chemical Ecology of Aphids (375 citations)
  • New roles for cis-jasmone as an insect semiochemical and in plant defense. (342 citations)

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

Lester J. Wadhams mainly investigates Botany, Aphid, Sex pheromone, Zoology and Pheromone. His work investigates the relationship between Botany and topics such as Olfactometer that intersect with problems in Methyl salicylate. Within one scientific family, Lester J. Wadhams focuses on topics pertaining to Foraging under Aphid, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Predation.

His Sex pheromone research incorporates elements of Nepetalactol, Phorodon humuli and Ecology, Mating. He studies Semiochemical which is a part of Zoology. Aphididae is a subfield of Homoptera that Lester J. Wadhams investigates.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (40.32%)
  • Aphid (34.41%)
  • Sex pheromone (29.57%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2013)?

  • Zoology (28.49%)
  • Aphid (34.41%)
  • Foraging (6.45%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Zoology, Aphid, Foraging, Semiochemical and Predation. His Zoology study typically links adjacent topics like Host. His Host research focuses on subjects like Molecular biology, which are linked to Ecology.

His study in Aphid is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cultivar, Gene and Sex pheromone. The concepts of his Sex pheromone study are interwoven with issues in Macrosiphum euphorbiae, Parasitoid, Kairomone and Horticulture. Lester J. Wadhams specializes in Botany, namely Natural enemies.

Between 2002 and 2013, his most popular works were:

  • Volatiles from whitefly-infested plants elicit a host-locating response in the parasitoid, Encarsia formosa. (101 citations)
  • A behavioural and electrophysiological study of ovi position cues for Culex quinquefasciatus (67 citations)
  • The role of semiochemicals in host location and non-host avoidance by salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) copepodids (59 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Insect

Lester J. Wadhams mostly deals with Botany, Ecology, Aphid, Pheromone trap and Host. Lester J. Wadhams works in the field of Botany, namely Pheromone. His Aphid research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Zoology, Genetics, Sex pheromone, Cultivar and Kairomone.

His Sex pheromone study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Braconidae, Neuroptera, Hymenoptera and Pest control. The study incorporates disciplines such as Midge, Chrysopidae, Agronomy and Chrysopa in addition to Pheromone trap. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Sous vide and Molecular biology.
