  • 2007 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

Richard Stouthamer is affiliated with the University of California, Riverside in the United States. Their research primarily spans the fields of Agricultural and Biological Sciences and Environmental Science, with significant contributions in subfields such as Insect Science, Ecology, Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, Plant Science, and Genetics.

Their research topics cover a range of areas including Forest Insect Ecology and Management, Insect-Plant Interactions and Control, Insect and Pesticide Research, Insect symbiosis and bacterial influences, Entomopathogenic Microorganisms in Pest Control, Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior, and Plant and Fungal Interactions Research.

Among recent publications, key papers include:

  • Gene content evolution in the arthropods, 2020, Genome Biology
  • Distinct epigenomic and transcriptomic modifications associated with Wolbachia-mediated asexuality, 2020, PLoS Pathogens
  • One becomes two: second species of the Euwallacea fornicatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) species complex is established on two Hawaiian Islands, 2020, PeerJ
  • Fungal symbionts of the polyphagous and Kuroshio shot hole borers (Coleoptera: Scolytinae, Euwallacea spp.) in California can support both ambrosia beetle systems on artificial media, 2020, Symbiosis
  • Native, naturalized and commercial predators evaluated for use against Diaphorina citri, 2022, Crop Protection

Frequent coauthors of Stouthamer include:

  • Paul F. Rugman-Jones
  • Deena Husein
  • Christine Dodge
  • Yi-Chang Liao
  • Shu-Jen Tuan

The most common venues for publication comprise PeerJ, Crop Protection, Journal of Economic Entomology, Biocontrol Science and Technology, and Genome Biology.

Recognition includes the 2007 designation as Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), awarded twice in that year.
