Ecology and evolution of infectious disease; pollinator health; host-parasite evolution; apiculture; agroecology
Multi-modal signaling between plants and insects, evolution and mechanism of inter-species interactions. Techniques include insect behavior, chemical ecology, and phylogenetics.
Integrating physiology, genomics, evolution, and microbial symbiosis to understand the biology of insect vectors of disease.
Behavioral and evolutionary genetics and epigenetics of social insects.
Functional and evolutionary genomics of microbial associations with insects; virology, symbiosis, immunity
Molecular and evolutionary biology of insect parasites; virology, immunology, symbiont evolution, reproduction.
Ecology and evolution of heritable symbiosis in insects.
The role of developmental mechanisms in sexual selection and the evolution of reproductive strategies in insects.
The mission of the Household and Structural Entomology program is acquisition of information on behavior, biology, ecology and evolution of associations with arthropods and human habitation.
