Department Research Areas 

Members of the UF/IFAS Entomology and Nematology Department conduct highly acclaimed research that spans several disciplines. We generate new knowledge to answer basic scientific questions and solve real-world challenges at our research labs in Gainesville, Florida, and at UF/IFAS Research and Education Centers around the state.

Our research is not limited to Florida. We have researchers and students working around the world in partnership with other institutions and organizations to help provide solutions to global entomological and nematological problems. To help you learn more about our research, we have broadly outlined six programmatic areas below. You can also explore our People pages for more in-depth information about individual faculty and their research programs.
