Dr. Bruce McPheron Professor of Entomology & Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Education and Director of the Pennsylvania Agricultural Experiment Station B.S. Agriculture (Entomology), The Ohio State University The research conducted in our lab focuses mainly on insect ecology and genetics by combining molecular biology with subjects like pest management, insect-plant interactions, and basic insect biology. We are examining population genetics problems in fruit flies (Tephritidae) using mitochondrial DNA, isozymes, and microsatellite DNA. We also use DNA sequences for molecular systematic studies of insects, particularly the Tephritidae and their relatives. |
