OverviewAI-generated summary

Allen L. Szalanski is a Professor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. His research focuses on insect and arachnid ecology and behavior, with a particular emphasis on molecular identification and genetic variation. Recent work has involved the confirmation of new hosts for the crapemyrtle bark scale using DNA barcoding, and the co-occurrence of pathogens in honey bees. Szalanski has also investigated the identification of subterranean termites in the Eastern United States through molecular methods and isolated strains of *Metarhizium* from *Amblyomma americanum* ticks found in Northwest Arkansas.

His research extends to the expansion of known ranges for certain termite species and the use of intertegular distance in wild bees to estimate proboscis lengths and foraging ranges, contributing to bee conservation ecology. Szalanski has also conducted molecular diagnostic surveys of honey bee pathogens and parasites in Arkansas and studied the mitochondrial DNA genetic variation of honey bee colonies in Oklahoma. He is a highly cited researcher with an h-index of 31 and over 149 publications, and has collaborated with researchers such as Dylan Cleary, Kelly Loftin, Donald C. Steinkraus, and Richard H. Adams, all from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
