Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Neelendra K. Joshi's research focuses on insect and plant interactions, with a particular emphasis on pollinators and agricultural pest management. His work has investigated the impact of systemic pesticides on solitary bee larval development and pupal mortality, as well as the proportion of commodity crop pollens and pesticide contamination in honey bee diets across different landscapes. Joshi has also studied wild bee monitoring, observing changes in biodiversity and abundance over time. His research extends to understanding the role of nocturnal pollinators in apple production and the effectiveness of different colored sampling traps for bees in livestock pasture ecosystems.

Joshi's publications include work on the invasive sap-feeding insect pest complex of sorghum, addressing its current status, challenges, and integrated management strategies. He has also contributed to the development of a global database on crop pollination, named CropPol. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 26, with 119 total publications and 2,584 citations. Joshi is recognized as a highly cited researcher and collaborates with several colleagues at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Haizheng Xiong, Ibtisam Alatawi, Theresa Makawa Phiri, and Ryan W. Dickson.
