Slug Research Update with Dr. Luong
The Sustainable Flowers Podcast - A podcast by Heather & Clara
Categories:
Last season we had a fabulous chat with Dr. Lien Luong, Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Alberta, about her fascinating research into the ecology and possible controls of slugs! She is our hero! Dr. Luong agreed to talk with us again to report on her first round of results for this project which were recently published in the Journal of Nematology. As usual she explains the results so clearly, but if you want to drill into the science even further, check out her team's open access paper: Brophy,T; D.K. Howe, D.R. Denver, L.T. Luong. 2020. First report of a gastropod parasitic nematode Phasmarhabditis californica (Nematoda: Rhabditidae) in Alberta, Canada. Journal of Nematology. e2020-92 vol 52. DOI: 10.21307/jofnem-2020-092
