Biographical Sketch:
Dr. Stansly had his first experience in fruit-tree entomology establishing ladybeetles for biological control of scale insects in date groves of Northern Niger, (1973-1976). He then received his master's degree in zoology from the University of Oklahoma (1978) using the ladybeetle work as a thesis. He earned a Ph.D. in Entomology from Texas A&M (1984) working on the ecology of the boll weevil on native host plants in Tabasco Mexico. As a post-doctoral associate for the for the State University of New York at Stony Brook (1985-1986), he studied the ecology of mound-building, nasute termites in the llanos of Venezuela. In 1986, Dr. Stansly joined the IFAS faculty as head of a project to implement IPM with row-crop farmers of Coastal Ecuador financed by USAID
(1986-1989). He came to SWFREC at Immokalee in 1989 where his extension and research activities include vegetables, citrus and sugarcane. Dr. Stansly teaches citrus pest management at the Center and carries out collaborative research with colleagues on integrated pest management of vegetables, and citrus. He is author or co-author of over 250 professional and trade journal articles, book chapters and extension articles, including some in Spanish, on a broad range of entomological topics.
