  Subject Areas on Research

  • Genomes of Ashbya fungi isolated from insects reveal four mating-type loci, numerous translocations, lack of transposons, and distinct gene duplications. 
  • Integrating statistical genetic and geospatial methods brings new power to phylogeography. 
  • Manipulation of insulin signaling phenocopies evolution of a host-associated polyphenism. 
  • Structural changes in isometrically contracting insect flight muscle trapped following a mechanical perturbation. 
  • Sublethal exposure to pyriproxyfen does not impair the abilities of the backswimmer Buenoa amnigenus to prey upon Aedes aegypti larvae. 
  • X-ray diffraction evidence for myosin-troponin connections and tropomyosin movement during stretch activation of insect flight muscle.
