Nathan Peterson Havill (born 1972) is an American entomologist and evolutionary biologist. Havill is a Research Entomologist with the United States Forest Service in Hamden, Connecticut and is internationally recognized on the phylogeny of Adelgidae.

Career

Since 1996 Havill has been a member of the Entomological Society of America. Since 2001, he has been a member of the Connecticut Entomological Society. Since 2012, he has been a member of the Society for the Study of Evolution.^[1]

His research focuses on the ecology and evolution of multi-trophic interactions and, in particular invasive pests, their natural enemies, and the impacted trees.^[1]
