| Office address: MCZL 426. Tel. (617) 495-2576 Behavioral ecology, focusing on species interactions such as insect/host plant associations and symbioses between insects and other organisms. Reconstruction of the phylogeny of the Lycaenidae (Lepidoptera) and other insects using molecular characters; comparative analyses of life history evolution; studies of genetic, behavioral and ecological mechanisms underlying lycaenid/ant associations and other insect/host recognition systems. |

| Brian D. Farrell |
| Office address: MCZ 409. Tel. (617) 495-4012 Dr. Farrell is focused on the phylogenetic study of interactions between insects and plants, with emphasis on phytophagous beetles. His interests are in evaluating the predictability of variation in the rates and directions of evolutionary change in traits affecting interactions, and their implications for plant and insect evolution, community structure and diversity. Dr. Farrell is also responsible for coordinating the pages in the Tree of Life® project concerning the phytophagous beetle superfamilies Chrysomeloidea and Curculionoidea. |
