Specifically I am interested in understanding how the environment interacts with genes to produce complex traits. Projects in my lab include: investigating the role of the insulin signaling pathway in the development and evolution of scarab beetle horns, determining the effects of veterinary parasiticides on beneficial insect species inhabiting cow dung in Washington state, and characterizing odorant receptors and Bt toxins in codling moth.     Copidosoma floridanum   REPRESENTATIVE PUBLICATIONS: Emlen, D., Corley Lavine, L., and Ewen-Campen, B. 2007 On the origin and evolutionary diversification of beetle ‘horns’.
