OverviewAI-generated summary

Kelly Loftin's research investigates insect and arachnid ecology and behavior, with a focus on livestock pasture ecosystems. Their work has examined the influence of trap color on bee sampling and the impact of sheep grazing on insect communities. Loftin has also studied the biology and management of the horn fly and explored plant factors affecting fall armyworm development in sorghum-sudangrass. Collaborations have extended to community science initiatives for tracking tick distributions and pathogen prevalence in Arkansas. Loftin's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 7, 16 total publications, and 149 total citations. Key collaborators at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville include Allen L. Szalanski, Donald C. Steinkraus, and Neelendra K. Joshi.
