Summary

The w88 online casino betting lab works in the areas of specialization, diversification, and plant-insect ecology. Specific questions and topics include the evolution of diet breadth, evolutionary interactions across trophic levels, phenology and population regulation. We are also interested in the conservation and management of insect diversity. In the field, our research includes the Great Basin, the Sierra Nevada, and much of the western hemisphere including tropical sites. In the lab, we combine physiological and behavioral experiments with genomic sequencing of novel-model organisms.

About the Trevor J. McMinn Endowed Research Professorship in w88 online casino betting

Mathematics Professor Trevor McMinn served 25 years at the University, retiring in 1988. After his passing, the University received a gift from McMinn's estate, which was used to create professorships w88 online casino betting College of Science. Established: 2015. (College of Science)
