While the prospect of fewer mosquitoes buzzing around might be compelling, insects play a crucial role in maintaining our ecosystems and supporting agriculture. Widespread use of insecticides has been ...

Insect feeding behaviour is a complex interplay of anatomical specialisation and physiological processes that enable insects to exploit plant tissues for nutrients. A key tool in deciphering these ...

Employing a library of more than 1,000 chemicals, scientists investigated how agrochemicals affect insect populations. The scientists found that exposure to non-fatal amounts of 57 percent of the ...

Recent research has revealed a fascinating biological mechanism in fruit flies, where a single protein can drastically alter their feeding behavior, causing them to uncontrollably spill their guts.

New research shows invasive species are reducing insect populations worldwide and weakening ecosystems people rely on.

Our research studies the interactions between organisms and their abiotic, ecological and social environment. Insect Ecology and Adaptation - studies diverse topics of insect ecology and evolution.
