Some of these applications include but not limited to food security, public\/veterinary health, ecosystem viability and sustainability. My research areas include, but are not limited to sustainable management of nuisance insects, crops\/stored product pests, insect vectors of tropical diseases, use of insects as models ecosystem stress and\/or recovery, as well as breeding of insects for human consumption and as livestock feed supplements. It is my aspiration to continue to provide home-grown sustainable solutions and innovations to Nigerian challenges, while contributing to reducing global impact of food security, healthcare, and ecosystem stress for mankind and wildlife. My ultimate goal is to communicate these modest contributions to budding research scientists, providing platforms for them to becoming better individuals, and ultimately making their immediate environments, Nigeria, Africa and the world at large better than it is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Positions, Scientific Appointments, and Honours<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Member, UNILAG Senate \u2013 August 2024 to date<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Member, CITS Board \u2013 January 2025 to date<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Journal Reviewer (Nigerian Journal of Entomology, Egyptian Journal of Biological Sciences)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Selected Most Recent Publications \/Contributions to Knowledge&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b><\/b><strong><b>Adetoro, FA<\/b><\/strong>, Elegbeleye OW, Lawal MO, Okunadejo OR, Truscott, AO, and Adegbite, MO (2022) Larvicidal efficacy of a Tropical Seaweed (<em>Dictyota ciliolata<\/em>) Extracts on Vectorial mosquito species and non-target effect on Guppy fish (<em>Poecilia &nbsp;reticulata<\/em>). <em> Of the University of Agric Sci. and Vet Med.<\/em>, Cluj-Napioca, <strong><b>79<\/b><\/strong>(2); 9-19.
