Claire Price is a Postdoctoral Researcher at Harper Adams University, United Kingdom, affiliated with the Agriculture and Environment Department. Her work focuses on entomology, integrated pest management, and arthropod conservation. She serves as an Associate Editor for Antenna (Royal Entomological Society) and leads a PhD student support group at the university.

Education: BSc in Life and Earth Sciences (Avignon Université), MSc in Plant Production Management (Avignon Université), and PhD in pest control strategies (Harper Adams University). Her research projects include the SLIMERS initiative studying grey field slug distribution and biopesticide efficacy against cabbage stem flea beetles.

Research Interests:

• Slug ecology and pest management strategies
• Entomological conservation and biodiversity
• Development of sustainable pest control methods
• Outreach and science communication in agriculture

Key Publications: Recent studies address slug spatial dynamics under environmental stressors and biopesticide applications for crop protection. These works contribute to advancing integrated pest management in agricultural systems.

Professional Memberships: Royal Entomological Society, Association of Applied Biologists, Butterfly Conservation.

Grants & Funding: Received £300 from the Royal Entomological Society for attending the 2022 International Congress of Entomology in Helsinki.

Labs & Teams: Active in the Centre for Crop and Environmental Science and the Entomology Group at Harper Adams, collaborating on applied agricultural research.
