Our lab is broadly interested in the social behavior and evolution of insects with an emphasis on termites, combining perspectives from chemical ecology, neurobiology and genetics, and we integrate the knowledge for pest management. Research areas include 1) pheromones and other semiochemicals that regulate social behavior, 2) the chemosensation and neural processing of social signals, and 3) genetics and genomics of insect sociality.
