Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Allen L. Szalanski is a Professor in the Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. His research focuses on the molecular characterization and genetic variation of insect and mite populations. He has utilized DNA barcoding to confirm new hosts for the crapemyrtle bark scale and has investigated the co-occurrence of pathogens in honey bees across multiple states.
Szalanski's work also includes the identification of subterranean termites in the eastern United States using molecular techniques. He has explored the isolation of fungal strains from tick populations in Northwest Arkansas and has contributed to understanding the geographic range and taxonomy of termite species. His recent research has also examined the intertegular distance of wild bees to estimate proboscis lengths and foraging ranges, contributing to bee conservation ecology. Furthermore, he has 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.
With an h-index of 31, 156 total publications, and 3,377 total citations, Szalanski is recognized as a highly cited researcher. His key collaborators at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville include Dylan Cleary, Kelly Loftin, Donald C. Steinkraus, and Austin Goldsmith, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications.
