Genome Structure, Population Genomics, and Transcriptomic Analyses of the Mosquito Gut-Dwelling Fungus Zancudomyces culisetae: Huimei Yang (exit seminar)

Zancudomyces culisetae is an obligate fungal symbiont living in the hindgut of aquatic insect larvae, including black flies, mosquitoes, and midges. Despite its global distribution and long-term association with disease-transmitting insects, its genome structure, genetic diversity, and transcriptional responses to host association remain poorly understood. This thesis integrates genomics, population genomics, and comparative transcriptomics to […]

The Effects of the Shared Genome on Sex-Specific Adaptation: Chloe Melo-Gavin (exit seminar)

Different reproductive roles between the sexes can lead to different optimal strategies for maximizing fitness. However, the response to these sex-specific selection pressures may be hindered by the fact that the genome is shared between them. While we are beginning to understand how the shared genome impacts sex-specific fitness, we still lack a clear understanding […]

Evolutionary Ecology and Genomics of Mutualism and Microbial Symbiosis in Insects: Maria Camila Tocora Alonso (exit seminar)

Mutualisms, or beneficial interactions between species, are central to the evolution of biodiversity on Earth. Simple models suggest coevolution of mutually beneficial partners erodes genetic variation over time. However, mutualisms are context-dependent with high variability in partner quality. In insects, associations with plants and microbes play a significant role in their evolution, yet the extent […]
