NOTABLE ITEMS FOR 2010
2010 was characterized by both significant challenges due to on-going spending freezes and reductions in state
appropriated funding for academic, extension and research programs. Despite these challenges our teaching,
research and extension programs have continued to excel, although efforts have had to become more focused.
Our graduate students and faculty were recognized for their outstanding accomplishments during 2010. Six
graduate students were recognized. Jessica Houle received the President’s Award for her display presentation at
the 2010 Annual Meeting of the Entomological Society of America. Nancy Maxwell was awarded 3rd
place for
her display presentation at the 2010 North Carolina Entomological Society Meeting and Banquet and was also
awarded a scholarship from the North Carolina Association of Environmental Professionals. Kelly Oten
received 2nd
place in the Natural Resources division of the 2010 NCSU Graduate Student Research Symposium.
Virna Saenz was awarded the 2010 North Carolina Pest Management Association Indoor Urban Entomology
Scholarship. Diane Silcox received the North Carolina Entomological Society Outstanding Master’s Student
Award and the Entomological Society of America Larry Larson Graduate Student Award for Leadership in
Applied Entomology. Elenor Spicer received an NCSU Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award
Among the faculty, Charles Apperson received the Distinguished Achievement Award for Leadership in
Medical Entomology from the Society for Vector Ecology; George Kennedy was named Honorary Member of
the Entomological Society of America in recognition of his contributions to Entomology and the ESA, Clyde
Sorenson was Named Alumni Distinguished Undergraduate Professor, and David Tarpy received the Eastern
Apicultural Society James I Hambleton Award for Excellence in Apicultural Research.
During 2010, the faculty generated a total of 2,984 undergraduate and 596 graduate student credit hours, and 4
MS and 4 PhD students received their degrees. Seven new MS students (Clay Chu, Lena Guisewite, Kevin
Langdon, Patricia Mullins, Sarah Prado and Jiwei Zhu) and 4 new PhD students (Colin Funaro, Connie
Johnson, Sriyanka Lahiri and Mauren Turcatel) joined the Department to pursue their graduate education.
Faculty, students and post-docs actively published and extended their findings, producing a total of 2 book
chapters, 67 refereed papers, 20 non-refereed publications, 14 abstracts and/or proceedings papers, 37 extension
publications, 112 popular press and newsletter articles, and 7 internet articles. They were also highly visible at
regional, national and international scientific meetings, making a total 105 submitted and invited presentations.
A total of $2,571,570 in new funding was generated by faculty in 2010. Sources of this funding were:
competitive grants (70%), unrestricted gifts (21.6%), commodity grants (5.4%), and North Carolina
Foundations and Centers (3%). This represents 14.7% of the total $17,536,559 in faculty generated extramural
funding in effect during 2010.
The Entomology Graduate Student Association continued its outstanding public education program, conducting
a total of 39 outreach educational programs that exposed at least 4742 children and adults to the interesting and
exciting world of insects.
During 2010 Lane Kreitlow was appointed as adjunct assistant professor in Entomology. Lane is an
entomologist with the NC Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Consumer Affairs, and teaches our Forensic
Entomology course (ENT 305). There were also 2 faculty retirements. Charles Apperson, William Neal
Reynolds Professor, retired after 34 years on the faculty, during which time he maintained an outstanding
research and extension program in medical and public health entomology. Charles will continue to maintain his
grant-funded, internationally recognized research program for several more years and will be housed in the
Dearstyne Laboratory. Mike Stringham also retired late 2010 after 19 years as an Extension Specialist
addressing arthropod management issues in the poultry and livestock industry. In addition, Ester Belikoff was
appointed as a Research Assistant working on insect transformation under Fred Gould in the Genetic Pest
Management Program, and Jackie Cohen was appointed as a Visiting Research Assistant working in the Insect
Rearing Program. Four new post-doctoral research associates (Thomas Chappell, Juliana Rangel-Posado,
Alvaro Romero and Jacob Van Kretshmar) also joined research programs within the Department.

2010 ACTIVITIES
NCSU INSECT MUSEUM
R. L. BLINN
We are currently into the second year of a NSF Collections Improvement Grant. Databasing of
the specimens continues. Collecting event data is captured for all new material accessioned into
the Museum collection. Likewise specimen data for the ―Insect of the Week‖ is also captured as
well as specimens for other taxa in the Museum. Label information for the holotypes has been
captured and we are working on systematically working through the collection one family at a
time. The imaging of museum drawers using a technology known as Gigapan continues. To
date all of the Homoptera, Lepidoptera, Orthoptera, Neuroptera, parasitic Hymenoptera and other
smaller groups have been imaged. The Gigapan images give a panoramic view of the drawer
and allow the viewer to zoom in on individual specimens. These images can be viewed on the
Museum web site under the Specimen tab.
Eight Malaise traps were set up during the year in Durham and Scotland counties and were
serviced every couple of weeks. Routine activities for the year included checking naphthalene
level in the pinned collection, alcohol level in the vial collections, processing specimens from
unmounted bulk samples, critically point drying the parasitoids and other fragile specimens and
continued sorting and identification of undetermined material to family level or below.
Many individuals were assisted or trained in photographing insect specimens using the Stereo-
Microscopic Digital Imaging Station. Through our online presence, users elsewhere are becoming
increasingly aware of the Insect Museum as evidenced by many requests for detailed specimen
information on material held here. The blog portion of the Museum’s web site continues to be an
active and popular portion of our public outreach being viewed by hundreds of people from
around the country and world.
New accessions (processed material) to the Museum for the year totaled 8,820 lots (8,809 pinned
and 11 vials). Included in these accessions were 9 gifts. These numbers do not reflect the
thousands of specimens still in alcohol waiting to be sorted and processed. Fourteen new loans
were issued during 2010 (852 specimens) and 7 were returned (1,192 specimens). Individuals
visiting the Museum this year totaled 89. This included 20 professionals, some of which stayed for
several days or longer to work with our material.
Systematists affiliated with the Museum volunteered at the 2010 Bug Fest, a BioBlitz in Durham
Co. and Darwin Day (Raleigh) and assisted with tours of the Museum and outreaches to local
schools (displays used on 16 occasions) and judged 4-H insect collections at the NC State Fair.

FACULTY INTERESTS AND ACTIVITIES
2010
Abney, Mark R., Assistant Professor and Extension Specialist. Ph.D. North Carolina State
University. Extension 75%, Research 25%. Vegetable production is a vibrant and growing
segment of the North Carolina agricultural economy, and the goal of my extension and research
programs is to strengthen the vegetable industry by improving the economic and environmental
sustainability of pest management strategies. Extension goals include the delivery of state of the
art pest management information to North Carolina’s vegetable growers through a variety of
educational outlets. My research focuses on the ecology and management of insect pests of
commercial vegetable crops in North Carolina. Major emphasis is placed on providing
science-based information to address problems in insect pest management and enhance the
effectiveness of the vegetable extension program at NC State University. Primary interests are in
developing/refining economic thresholds, managing insecticide resistance, and improving
sampling procedures in agronomic systems.
Apperson, Charles S., William Neal Reynolds Professor. Ph.D., University of California,
Riverside. Extension 51%, Research 49%. Development of extension demonstration and
education programs on community pests such as mosquitoes, flies, ticks and fire ants. Integrated
pest management of mosquitoes, ticks and other bloodfeeding arthropods. Vector biology and
ecology.
Bacheler, Jack S., Professor and Dept. Extension Leader. Ph.D., University of Florida.
Extension 100%. Cotton insect management, extension state project leader. Some applied
research responsibility for corn, soybean and wheat. Implementation of IPM-based insect
management systems for producers, agents and consultants via an emphasis on population
monitoring and agronomic inputs which minimize insect pressure. Applied research emphasis on
1) evaluating the status of potential cotton insect pests in North Carolina's changing agricultural
agroecosystem, 2) determining insect damage relationships and insecticide use pattern changes in
conventional and transgenic cotton systems, 3) assessing the relationship between cotton plant
phenology and its attractiveness and susceptibility to economically important pest species, and 4)
developing and refining insect pest thresholds on conventional and on caterpillar-tolerant cotton,
with an emphasis on stink bugs. Educational program on prevention, detection and remediation
of cotton pest problems conveyed via traditional means and through our Cotton Insect Corner
web page (www.run.to/cotton <http://www.run.to/cotton>). Aid in the team teaching of ENT
592, and provide selected lectures in courses related to insect pest management.
Bambara, Stephen B., Extension Specialist. M.S., NCSU. Extension 100%. Main
responsibilities involve ornamental and turf insects in the homeowner and Lawn & Garden store
settings. Duties involve agent and master gardener training and consumer education in these
areas. Current direction emphasizes the "ten most important" ornamental insect pests. Additional
responsibilities covered are 4-H Entomology (emphasizing curriculum development), insect
pests stored grains and forage crops. Other activities involve turf pests of home lawns and Lucid
Key development to Bark Beetles of SE USA and choosing a fire ant insecticide.
Brandenburg, Rick L., William Neal Reynolds Professor. Ph.D., NCSU. Extension 74%,
Research 26%. Peanut and turfgrass insect management. Development and deployment of cost

effective and environmentally sound insect management systems. Evaluation of new and
alternative control strategies and predictive modeling, research on insect behavior and
monitoring and relevance to pest management, and biological control are components of current
program. Coordinator for USAID Peanut CRSP in West Africa and co-director Center for
Turfgrass Environmental Research and Education.
Burrack, Hannah J., Assistant Professor. Ph.D., University of California, Davis. Extension
75%, Research 25%. Extension program develops and distributes information on integrated pest
management in tobacco, small fruits, and specialty crops to growers and county based agents.
On farm demonstration and research trials are a key component of these extension efforts.
Research projects include landscape ecology studies of phytophagous arthropod pests of tobacco,
blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, and grapes; economic threshold revision; and studies of
pest & pollinator behavior, particularly as it impacts preference, performance, and crop

Watson, D. Wesley, Professor. Ph.D., University of Nebraska. Research 70%, Extension 25%
Teaching 5%. Veterinary Entomology is the study of arthropod pests associated with livestock
and poultry. Pest problems often arise from the activities of domestication and culturing of
livestock for food. Livestock and poultry pest management involves a diversity of host animals,
their respective parasites and diseases, and how these problems impact humans. North Carolina
animal agriculture includes a variety of production-based commodities, poultry, swine, cattle,
and non-production equestrian. Beef and Dairy cattle production in North Carolina is generally a
small farm operation. Swine and poultry production is well represented in the state and horses
are a growing industry. Pests, particularly muscoid flies, become a nuisance for humans living
nearby and may result in litigation. Commodity group surveys indicate that among poultry
producers, flies and darkling beetles are of major concern for their potential to transmit disease
and become a nuisance. Cattle and horse producers are concerned with pasture flies, barn flies,
ticks and tick borne disease. Concerns of the swine producer include cockroaches and flies, and
their disease transmission potential. Management is key to successful pest reduction. The
integration of existing and novel management strategies provides balance and innovation to
sustainable animal agriculture. My research concentrates on establishing disease and disease
transmission potential of targeted pests and to develop management practices under the IPM
canopy, focusing on these pest issues. Such integrated strategies include cultural, biological,
mechanical and when needed, chemical control. We are currently investigating the role of house
flies and other arthropods in maintaining biosecurity on poultry, swine and diversified farms.
This project targets the dissemination of foodborne pathogens on and between farms, and in the
community. IPM plays a vital role in improved biosecurity. A second study is investigating
pesticide alternatives for the management of horn flies on beef and dairy cattle. Horn fly
densities have been reduced to below threshold levels on cattle using a variety of alternative
71
practices, including naturally occurring insect repellents and walk through fly traps. As a result
of this effort, no insecticides have been used for horn fly control in over 5 consecutive years.
Technologies developed by the program have far reaching impacts for both conventional and
organic livestock production. This pest management effort is currently showcased at the Center
for Environmental Farming Systems, Goldsboro, NC and on commercial farms in the piedmont
region of North Carolina.
