    Dr Claire Price completed a BSc in Life and Earth Sciences and a MSc in Plant Production Management at Avignon Université, France, and a PhD at Harper Adams investigating the potential of biopesticides to control the cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) in oilseed rape.

    She is interested in entomology, arthropods conservation, and Integrated Pest Management. She particularly enjoys communicating research to fellow researchers, students, farmers, and members of the public through outreach activities and teaching. She also has experience identifying butterflies, moths, spiders, and ground beetles to species level.

    Her current postdoctoral research project is looking at understanding the spatio-temporal distribution of the grey field slug (Deroceras reticulatum) as part of the SLIMERS (Strategies Leading to Improved Management and Enhanced Resilience against Slugs) project.
