Our lab combines developmental and evolutionary genetics to understand the origin of new phenotypes and ecological adaptations. Our interests include the evolution of developmental pathways, the origin of sex-specific morphological traits, evolution of insect behavior and host plant preferences, and molecular mechanisms and ecological impact of insect-bacterial symbiosis. We address these questions by integrating molecular-genetic, genomic, quantitative-genetic and phylogenetic approaches in a variety of Drosophila species.
