Brain morphogenesis in a parasitoid model species: genes regulating parasitoid olfaction
Have you ever wondered how insects use their brain; or whether they possess a brain after all? How do insects find and recognize their significant other? In the next academic year (starting September/October) you have the oppo ...

Exploring plant defence strategies to deal with attack by multiple herbivores
In nature, plants are confronted with a plethora of insect herbivores which have been driving the evolution of plant defences for more than 400 million years. Plants have developed plastic defensive strategies to be resistant or t ...
