| Taxa Studied: |
Invertebrate Animals |
| Techniques Employed: |
Solexa (Illumina) Sequencing, Bioinformatics/Sequence Analysis |
| Research Description: |
I am currently studying the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis, male nuptial gift. Using direct and indirect approaches I hope to determine not only what the male donates to the female, but how the female processes and utilizes that gift on a molecular level. I am also interested in how variation in gift composition can lead to differential paternity success for males and changes in lifetime fitness for females. |
