| PI: |
YES |
| Taxa Studied: |
Drosophila, Crustaceans: Cladocera, Copepoda, Amphipoda |
| Techniques Employed: |
life table and longevity experiments, feeding assays, temperature sensitivity assays, microarrays, RNA-seq, phylogenetics. |
| Research Description: |
I am interested in phenotypic plasticity of
>life-history and physiology traits and in the evolution of duplicated genes, including "ecological subfunctionalization" of paralogs. A related research direction focuses on the reaction of Lake Baikal endemic
crustaceans to elevated temperatures. |
