The project will utilize both a computational (bioinformatic component) with lab-based behavioral studies of departmental colonies of insect pests. Computational tools will be used to look at differentially expressed genes and a behavioral approach will be taken to observe expression of these genes in specific behaviors. This project will be an intersection of the use of genetics as a tool to studying insects and the implications of gene expression on behavior and evolution of pest species.
