Dr Robbie Girling is an Associate Professor in Agroecology and Sustainable Agriculture and the Head of Department of Sustainable Land Management at the University of Reading. His research focuses on investigations into the ecology of insects found in both agricultural and forestry ecosystems and my specific areas of expertise are in plant-insect interactions, and insect behavioural and chemical ecology.
