Douglas Tallamy is an American entomologist, ecologist and conservationist. He is a professor in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware.[1] He has written and co-authored several books as well as papers.
Tallamy advocates for home gardens and landscaping that bridge the gaps between parks and preserves in providing habitat for native species.[2][3] He has spoken on the connections between plants and insects and how those relations are important to birds.[4] He has called for smaller lawns.[5] He was interviewed about the need to plant more native plants by Utah Public Radio.[6]
Tallamy has overseen rigorous field-studies that examine native versus introduced flora as caterpillar hosts and chickadee habitat.[7]
