Entomology undergraduate student Lidia Komondy received a first prize in the environmental section at MSU’s 2016 University Undergraduate Research and Arts Forum (UURAF). Her entry was titled “The Effect of Border Habitats on Predation of a Key Pest.”
Komondy is part of the team in Zsofia Szendrei’s vegetable entomology lab and will receive $100 as part of this honor. The research was a study in 20 Michigan commercial asparagus fields looking at the abundance of different species of spiders and their predatory impact on asparagus miner.
UURAF provides MSU undergraduate students with an opportunity to showcase their scholarship and creative activity. The forum brings together an intellectual community of highly motivated students to share their work with faculty, peers and external audiences. MSU undergraduates gain experience in presenting their research, answering questions about their work from audience members and guests and receiving constructive feedback from judges.
