Graduate Researchers
Bronwyn Boyd
As part of the BeeMon project, Bronwyn is studying how the gut microbiome and genetic diversity of honeybees workers changes over the course of a season.
Jazlyn Pointer
Jazlyn is investigating how anthropogenic change is affecting insect diversity in the southern Appalachians.Â
Grace Kropelin
Grace is assessing whether cyclopeptide tolerance is driving speciation in a Drosophila tripunctata population.
Stephanie Rudisill
Stephanie is examining whether cyclopeptide-tolerant species of Drosophila can survive on diets containing other mushroom toxins (e.g., muscimol and methyl viologen).
Haley Martin
Haley will be studying the linkages between oviposition preference, toxin tolerance, and genetic diversity in Drosophila tripunctata.
Kendra Casse
Kendra will be investigating how selective pressures, such competition and predators, influence host usage in Drosophila tripunctata.
