The intricate world of taxonomy, involving the discovery and classification of new species, plays a crucial role in understanding and managing biodiversity. For example, UNH’s Insect Collection has been pivotal in more than 12,000 species of insects and other arthropods, making key discoveries – including the identification of new invasive pests to the region like the Asian long horned tick and the southern pine beetle – that can help inform management practices and outreach efforts. One of the latest discoveries, made by COLSA research technician Monique Raymond ’19 ’23G, has been the novel identification of species within the Blueberry Gall Midge Complex (BGMC) – a group of closely related species of fly (known as gall midges) that feeds on and damages blueberry crops.
