Parker's research focuses on developing an understanding of how sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone regulate the production of sexual signals used in mate choice. He uses snakes as a model group of vertebrates because snakes rely almost exclusively on chemical cues (pheromones) to identify and choose between mates.
Parker's research has been used in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Geological Survey and the Florida Institute of Technology to improve the management of invasive species, mainly Burmese pythons in the Florida Everglades. His research is also being used to examine similar questions about Argentine tegu lizards.
He has a bachelor's degree from the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville; a master's degree from Washington State University and a doctorate from Oregon State University.

Sanford Eigenbrode's work in entomology focuses on insect-plant interactions, climate change, the chemical ecology of plant viruses and their vectors, and weed biological control. As an outgrowth of his work leading large, transdisciplinary projects addressing problems affecting social ecological systems, he has a strong interest in the methods to improve communication within such projects.
He is available to speak on:

Climate change and agriculture — integrated research, education and outreach concerning effects of changing climates on wheat production systems in the Northwest.
Chemical ecology of Arthropod borne infectious agents — deciphering the mechanisms through which pathogens affect hosts and vectors, with implications for disease dynamics, integrated disease management, and evolution of pathogens, vectors and hosts.
Chemical ecology of insects, plant–insect interactions, chemical and structural plant attributes affecting plant–insect and tritrophic interactions, insect behavior and plant surface waxes, with expertise in extraction and analysis of chemicals from plant tissues, scanning electron microscopy, host plant resistance and integration of host plant resistance into pest management (chemical ecology).

Stephen P. Cook is a professor of Entomology at the University of Idaho, specializing in forest insects and natural resources in the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences in the Department of Entomology, Plant Pathology and Nematology. He earned his Ph.D. in entomology from North Carolina State University after completing his M.S. at Texas A&M University in entomology.
