Greg Sword is Regents Professor and Charles R. Parencia Endowed Chair in Entomology at Texas A&M University. Research spans plant-insect interactions, population genomics, and integrated pest management, with applications in agricultural sustainability.
Education includes BS in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology from University of Arizona and PhD in Zoology from University of Texas. Interdisciplinary work integrates ecology, evolution, genomics, and microbiology.
Research focuses on locust swarm behavior, insect resistance mechanisms, and microbial ecology approaches to pest control. Recent publications examine Vip3Aa resistance in moths, geomagnetic field effects on insect migration, and genomic patterns in fall armyworm populations.
Patents include novel agricultural products from plant-microbe interactions. Field studies investigate collective motion in locusts and genomic adaptation in crop pests. Research contributes to sustainable pest management strategies.
