CIPM staff members Roger Magarey, Christina Trexler, Godshen Pallipparambil and Ernie Hain (now with USDA-APHIS) collaborated with Thomas Chappell at Texas A&M to explore the use of Social Ecological Systems in IPM. The resulting article, Social Ecological System Tools for Improving Crop Pest Management, was recently published in the Journal of Integrated Pest Management.
