PhD position: Evolution of Chemoreception in Parasitoids
Chemical signaling, the most ancient and widespread form of communication, plays a crucial role in maintaining species boundaries through exclusive communication channels that potentially drive speciation. Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs), lipids found on the surface of insects, have been shown to encode species-specific sexual signals in various insect taxa. However, how insects perceive, discriminate, and process the biological information encoded in CHC profiles remains poorly understood.
