Pollution and Perception: How ozone degrades social discrimination systems in ants
Ants recognize their nestmates by “smelling” the waxy hydrocarbons on each other’s bodies—but ozone pollution can chemically alter these cues and confuse entire colonies. This project dives into the chemosensory mechanisms behind this phenomenon: How do antennal sensilla detect oxidized versus intact hydrocarbons? You will combine behavioral assays and chemical analysis to unravel how environmental change reshapes insect communication.

Chemical mimicry and sexual dimorphism in mites
Bulb mites show a dramatic male dimorphism, developing either into deadly fighters or harmless scramblers, raising the question of why the ill-equipped scramblers still persist in nature. This project explores whether scramblers escape aggression from fighter males by chemically mimicking females, using detailed analyses of their surface chemical profiles. By linking behaviour and chemistry, you will uncover the mechanisms that maintain these surprising alternative tactics.

How do insects adapt to different host plants?
Explore how insects’ surface pheromones—used for waterproofing, communication, and mate choice—shift during adaptation to new environments. Working with experimental evolution lines of seed beetles, you’ll test how host plants alter chemical profiles and, potentially, pheromonal communication. Gain hands‑on experience with chemical analysis, evolution experiments, and multivariate data to study rapid trait evolution.
