Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Javier G Miguelena's research centers on the ecological impacts of urbanization on insect populations, particularly ants and termites. His work investigates how changes in habitat, such as simplification due to urban development, affect the diversity, abundance, and composition of ant assemblages. Miguelena has also evaluated the efficacy of various insecticides, including fipronil, chlorfenapyr, and chlorantraniliprole, for controlling pest species like the dark rover ant and the desert subterranean termite in field and laboratory settings. His publications include studies on these themes conducted in arid and temperate urban environments. Miguelena's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 4, with a total of 6 publications and 41 citations.
