Prof. Shai Morin

General

The laboratory's research interests are in ecological and evolutionary genetics, as they relate specifically to insect-plant and insect-environment interactions. We combine ecological and genomic tools in order to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying insect adaptation to biotic and a-biotic environmental constrains: synthetic insecticides, plant defensive chemistry and more recently, climate changes. 

Research

Our research activities include these main topics:

  • Ecosystem services and dis-services

  • Land-use effects on pollinators and pollination

  • Pollinators health and virus transmission

  • Conservation and restoration of pollinators

  • Tools for biodiversity quantification and mapping
