Modelling the morphogenesis, geometry and function of termite nests This is a fully funded PhD opportunity for UK or EU nationals who have or will achieve a Master’s degree by the 31st December 2018. The successful applicant will join the Centre for Research in Ecology Evolution and Behaviour of the University of Roehampton (London, UK) […]
Un insecte africain à la morphologie très particulière creuse des galeries dans les arbres. Vous ne les verrez jamais. Déjà, avec 2 mm de longueur, elles font partie des plus petites fourmis du monde. Ensuite, elles ne sortent jamais à l’air libre et vivent toutes leur vie dans des tunnels situés sous l’écorce des arbres. […]
Description: Two full-time Graduate Research Assistantships (Ph.D.) are available beginning Summer/Fall 2019 in the laboratory of Dr. Brock Harpur (beemolevo.com) in the Department of Entomology at Purdue University. North American honeybee populations are non-native. They originate from European settlers who brought colonies from at least two highly-diverged source populations. How does admixture of highly diverged […]
The Hunt Lab is broadly interested in how evolution produces variation in insect form and function. We use ants and bees as models for studying how evolutionary mechanisms shape variation in social behavior. We have two, recently-funded projects in the lab to support graduate students; both use functional genomic and transcriptomic methods to study the […]
The Gibson lab in the Department of Biology at Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, GA invites applications for a Masters Degree in insect evolutionary genetics to begin Spring 2019. The research focus of the lab is on the genetic/genomic basis of traits in social and solitary Hymenopteran insects. Current projects/systems in the lab include: 1) […]
