Clem Insect Ecology and Biodiversity Lab

Welcome to the Clem Insect Ecology and Biodiversity Lab website! The Clem Lab, located in the School of Biological Sciences at Illinois State University (Bloomington-Normal, IL), is broadly works on topics at the intersection of insect ecology, conservation, and biodiversity research. Current projects involve insect migration, pollination and biocontrol, landscape ecology, and insect pest and pollinator management (IPPM). We have a special interest in flies! Particularly, we study the ecology of hover flies (Syrphidae), which act as both pollinators and biological control agents.
