I am working with Dr. Molly Hunter to examine the evolutionary trajectory of the behavior of endosymbiont-infected and cured parasitoid wasps. By examining the life history characteristics and behavior of parasitoids of differing infection status (physiological state) over the course of generations, we hope to improve our understanding of the behavioral mechanisms by which insects can respond to and potentially compensate for endosymbiont infection, thus integrating the fields of endosymbiont biology and behavioral ecology.
