Research

Faculty research includes aspects of biological diversity and phylogenetics, molecular aspects of cellular biology,molecular evolution, behavioral and population ecology, molecular ecology, aerobiology, epidemiology, microbiology, virology, cognitive behavior, physiology, development, and genetics.  Specific research areas in Biological Science vary in accordance with individual faculty interests:

 

• Molecular biology, ecology and epidemiology of plant viruses
• Integrative molecular ecology in mosaic landscapes/reptilian reproduction
• Biogeography, life history, and evolution of amphibians 
• Behavioral and disease ecology of cliff swallows
• Molecular phylogenetics and microbial diversity 
• Molecular evolution and drosophila genetics
• Physiological and behavioral ecology in the family Gryllotalpidae
• Study of airborne allergens and pollen forcasting
• Differential sialylation and its effect on the cellular/molecular biology of immune system function
• Reproductive systems of terrestrial pulmonate gastropods
• Foraging ecology and population dynamics of honey bees
• Molecular characterization of foodborne pathogens and their antibiotic resistance mechanisms
