Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Tom K Walsh"
- Tom K Walsh's research focuses on the genetic and ecological dynamics of agricultural pest species, particularly regarding their evolutionary responses to selective pressures such as insecticide use and hybridization events among invasive populations.
- Recent studies include investigations into the genomic adaptations of the fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) to invasive conditions and the analysis of historical museum samples to understand shifts in pest resistance over time.
- Walsh's work also encompasses innovative approaches in plant molecular biology, highlighting the use of G-U base-paired hpRNA for effective inhibition of small RNA functions, thus contributing significant insights into pest management strategies and plant resilience.
