ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSI wish to express my sincerest gratitude to my major advisor, Dr. Michael J. Stout, for hisguidance, motivation and patience. I also wish to thank the members of my graduate committee,Drs. Gregg Henderson, Fangneng Huang, Thomas Reagan and Richard Story for theirconstructive criticism and assistance. I would also like to thank each one of them for theirunique creative insight and engaging discussions.Much of this research would not have been possible without the assistance of personnel atthe LSU Agricultural Center Rice Research Station in Rayne, LA. I am especially grateful toMarty Frey for all the practical wisdom stemming from his years of experience with rice andcrawfish farming. In addition, the summer working crews from 2005-2011 were of invaluablehelp while collecting weevil core samples and sweeping for rice stink bugs.I would also like to thank my family for all the support and encouragement they havegiven me in my years of education. I will forever be indebted to my parents and maternalgrandparents, William and Leah Burgwin, for encouraging my curiosity and my desire to alwaysimprove myself. My wife, Netkamol, deserves a tremendous amount of thanks for her unendingsupport of my education throughout our lives together.ii
