Research and Expertise

Current work in our lab includes mountain pine beetle functional genomics, tree defences against herbivores and pathogens, insect chemical ecology, bark beetle cold tolerance physiology, stored pest feeding deterrents, weevil foraging behaviour, and aquatic insect biodiversity and food web research. We conduct our research across multiple scales and we use available tools – established and cutting-edge – to search for answers to complex entomological and ecological questions.
