Event details
Details	The seminar will be presented by Dr. Dan Hahn, Professor at the University of Florida. Research in his lab integrates physiology, biochemistry, and evolutionary ecology to address a range of questions in insect biology. Topics of interest are: 1) physiological mechanisms underlying phenotypic plasticity in insects with a focus on diapause and reproduction, 2) regulation of metabolism and nutrient allocation in insects emphasizing regulation of storage and subsequent utilization, 3) insects as model systems to study the physiology of human diseases including infertility, diabetes, and obesity.
