Dr. Victor dela Paz Gapud is recognized for his contribution in agriculture. His research interests are mainly focused on the biodiversity of springtails (Collembola), dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata), bugs (Hemiptera), and selected groups of beetles. Butterflies (Lepidoptera) are a side interest mainly in relation to biodiversity conservation. He also engaged in integrated pest management (IPM) research while assigned to the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) in 1993-1997.
