Isaac Esquivel

Isaac Esquivel is an Assistant Professor of Entomology at the University of Florida's North Florida Research and Education Center, focusing on agronomic and forage crop entomology. His research examines spatial dynamics of plant-pest-natural enemy-pollinator interactions influenced by landscape structure, using GIS and remote sensing for improved pest management systems.

Dr. Esquivel studies piercing-sucking pests of cotton and peanut while balancing ecological and economic values in agroecosystems, including biological control services and pollinator health. His work addresses priority pest management issues in the Florida panhandle.

Recent publications demonstrate his focus on sustainable agriculture, including studies on native bees in agroecosystems, nutritional landscapes affecting pollinators, and innovative pest monitoring techniques.
