Ongoing research
Büyükyilmaz: How does temperature affect insect body size, wing length, and flight? Di Filippo/Fung/Kim: How does warming affect algal nutritive quality? How does the change in algal quality affect other species in an aquatic food web? Klasios: What are the common microplastics found in lakes in BC? What are the combined effects of warming and microplastics on lake health? Liang: Do smaller insects 'do better' in warm environments? Testing theory with mosquitoes; Thornmeyer: Has insect diversity changed over time? In what way? Tseng: Do populations that lived in glacial refugia hold secrets for how to adapt to climate change? |
Lab News
June 2020 A belated welcome to Emily Liang and Erez Büyükyilmaz - both are working with Michelle this summer & running temperature-insect fitness expts. An early welcome to Jihyun Kim, who will be joining us as a MSc student in Sept. Welcome everyone! March 2020 All Tseng lab members are working remotely. Our thoughts are with those who have been seriously affected by Covid-19, from the families who have lost loved ones, to the front-line health care workers, to the many many Canadians who have been laid off or have lost their jobs completely. Stay safe everyone. |
