Deborah G. McCullough is an Assistant Professor at Michigan
State University, with a joint appointment in the Dept. of Entomology
and the Dept. of Forestry. She has research, teaching and extension
responsibilities in the general area of forest entomology.
Her extension appointment includes working with state, federal and
private forest managers on issues related to forest health and forest
pest management. McCullough is involved with gypsy moth management in
the state and is the Director of the Michigan Gypsy Moth Education
Program. She also works with the Christmas tree industry in Michigan
to develop IPM solutions to insect pest problems. McCullough recently
cooperated with several state and federal agencies to develop a
national compliance program for pine shoot beetle in Christmas tree
plantations. She has written or co-authored over 40 extension
publications on a variety of forest insect pests.
McCullough's primary research interest is to increase our
understanding of the interactions between insects in forest
ecosystems, and how management affects those interactions. Current
research projects relate to jack pine budworm ecology and management,
forest insect biodiversity, gypsy moth management and biocontrol,
bark beetle ecology in the Lake States and associations between
forest insects and fire.
