Lewis J. Bartlett is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Entomology at the University of Georgia's College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CAES). His research focuses on honeybee health, parasitic mites (e.g., Varroa destructor), pesticide impacts, and sustainable pest management strategies. He investigates interactions between agricultural practices, invasive species, and pollinator survival. Key areas include developing effective mite control methods, studying neonicotinoid toxicity, and exploring evolutionary dynamics of host-parasite relationships.
Dr. Bartlett's work spans laboratory experiments and field studies, with notable contributions to understanding how environmental stressors exacerbate parasite threats. He advocates for improved reporting standards in ecological research and engages in science communication through innovative approaches like art-science collaboration. His recent studies address the efficacy of oxalic acid treatments, anthranilic diamides for hive beetles, and the ecological impacts of invasive wasps like Vespa velutina.
While no formal awards are listed, his publications reflect a commitment to addressing critical challenges in apiculture and environmental science. His research integrates ecological, evolutionary, and applied perspectives to support both theoretical understanding and practical solutions for beekeeping and conservation.
