Plant-insect interactions in a changing world
Project Overview: . Insects associated with plants comprise one of the most diverse groups of species on earth. Their impact on the ecology and evolution of their host plants is widely recognised, as is their contribution to multiple important ecosystem services. Read more
HFSP funded studentship on the evolution of insect sperm form and function
University of Lincoln is offering one fully-funded PhD studentship in connection to a three-year Human Frontiers Science Program project entitled “The evolution of sperm cell shape and motion”. Read more
Ecology of Insect Pests of Stored Products and Museums
People store many different products for a variety of purposes. Stored products include food, wood, clothing and also items in museums stored for posterity. Read more

Comparative genomics of insects and their microbiomes to explain feeding ecology dynamics
This project is available through the MIBTP programme. The successful applicant will join the MIBTP cohort and will take part in all of the training offered by the programme. Read more
Molecular genetic characterization of Drosophila reproductive behaviours for exploitation in insect population control
Research Group:
BBSRC MIBTP
Female reproductive behaviours in most insects profoundly change after mating leading to rejection of courting males and induction of egg laying. Read more
Identification and characterisation of novel flavivirus protease cleavages sites in mammalian and insect cells using N-terminomics
Positive sense single stranded RNA viruses translate their large open reading frames as a polyprotein that is cleaved by viral and/or host proteases to release mature viral proteins. Read more
Insect odorant receptor electronic sensors
Insect odorant receptors are a unique class of protein complexes evolved for odour sensing, with strong potential for electronic nose technology. Read more
