Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Neelendra K. Joshi investigates insect biology and its impact on agricultural systems. His research has explored the role of nocturnal pollinators in apple production and the significant contributions of wild bees to crop pollination, examining changes in their biodiversity and abundance over time. Joshi has also studied the effects of sampling methods on insect data collection, including how trap color influences bee sampling in livestock pasture ecosystems.

His work further delves into the impact of pesticides on beneficial insects. Recent publications address how systemic pesticides in pollen stores affect solitary bee larval development and increase pupal mortality. Joshi also examines the proportion of crop pollens and pesticide contamination in honey bee diets within different landscapes. Additionally, his research addresses the management of invasive insect pests, such as the *Melanaphis sacchari/sorghi* complex in sorghum.

Joshi's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 25, with 116 total publications and 2,458 total citations. He is recognized as a highly cited researcher. Key collaborators include Haizheng Xiong, Ibtisam Alatawi, Theresa Makawa Phiri, and Ryan W. Dickson, all affiliated with the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville or the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station.
