Research Interests
Evolution, Ecology, and plant-insect interactions
Current
Research
Being a new graduate student, I am currently doing
much background research to decide which avenue of study I would like to
pursue. I have narrowed the field down to insect –plant interactions
between Stator limbatus and a variety of exotic host plants. From
the plant perspective, I am interested in how seed damage affects
germination. From the beetle aspect, I would like to examine the genetic
trade-offs arising from colonizing an exotic host.
