OverviewAI-generated summary

Katherine C. Larson's research investigates interactions between plants and arthropods, with a focus on gall-forming aphids and their impact on plant physiology. Her work has examined how these aphids manipulate plant resources, affecting sink-source relationships and plant architecture. Larson has also studied the influence of gall-forming arthropods on host plant photosynthetic rates and the potential for exotic honeysuckle species to become invasive due to greater morphological plasticity and clonal mobility. Her publications include investigations into the effects of spider mite injury on peppermint transpiration and leaf water status, as well as the role of pollinators in fruit set for exotic honeysuckle.
