About

Maria L. Pappas is an Associate Professor at Democritus University of Thrace, Greece. Her research primarily focuses on the dynamics of insect populations, alternative food sources in agriculture, and the effects of beneficial microbes on pest control. Recent articles explore topics such as the predation efficiency of various predators, environmentally friendly agro-food production, and the impact of pesticide side-effects on beneficial species.
