Description: Two full-time Graduate Research Assistantships (Ph.D.) are available beginning Summer/Fall 2019 in the laboratory of Dr. Brock Harpur (beemolevo.com) in the Department of Entomology at Purdue University. North American honeybee populations are non-native. They originate from European settlers who brought colonies from at least two highly-diverged source populations. How does admixture of highly diverged […]

Offre de thèse : evolutionary epigenetics and genomics of social insects in the Hunt Lab at the University of Georgia

22/09/2018
Aucun commentaire

The Hunt Lab is broadly interested in how evolution produces variation in insect form and function. We use ants and bees as models for studying how evolutionary mechanisms shape variation in social behavior. We have two, recently-funded projects in the lab to support graduate students; both use functional genomic and transcriptomic methods to study the […]

Offre de thèse : Impacts of globalization on biological invasions – UNIL, Lausanne

30/08/2018
Aucun commentaire

Introduction Since the Industrial Revolution increased international trade and human movements have resulted in the accidental movement of many species worldwide at an unprecedented level. This ongoing movement of species has brought about the breakdown of biogeographic boundaries that have historically limited the distributions of organisms and some of these species become invasive. Invasive species […]

Stage M2 : Validation des protocoles de test de résistance de l’abeille au parasite varroa

26/08/2018
Aucun commentaire

L’acarien Varroa destructor est l’un des principaux parasites de l’abeille domestique Apis mellifera, causant d’importantes pertes de colonies à l’échelle mondiale dû à une relation hôte-parasite déséquilibrée. Certaines colonies d’abeilles ont cependant développé des stratégies de défense naturelle face au parasite, ce qui leur permet de survivre à l’acarien. Plusieurs mécanismes de défense ont été […]
