Welcome to the home page of the Insect, Genomics, and Evolution Lab! 

What are the origins of biodiversity? How can insects contribute to a sustainable future for our planet? We study insects to understand evolution at the population and species level, and to better manage insect pests and promote a sustainable food system. We like genetics, and are doing a lot of genome analysis, but also think that we need to understand development, behaviour and ecology to make sense of evolution. So our research ranges across all of these topics.
