Dr. Ghosh's lab studies how herbivorous insects interact with their environment, with particular attention to the ecological and evolutionary forces shaping their behavior, physiology, and immune function. They investigate how herbivore defenses evolve in multitrophic contexts, how insects use environmental signals to anticipate threats, and how they prepare to withstand these challenges. They also examine the costs associated with maintaining such defenses. The goal of their work is twofold: to advance fundamental understanding of ecology and evolution, and to develop practical strategies that support sustainable pest management and insect conservation.
The GCC's affiliated faculty come from dozens of disciplines, spanning more than 20 academic units on campus.
Our diversity is our greatest asset.
