Fully funded PhD position in evolutionary genomics of insect immunity at the University of Ulm, Germany. Title: ImmuNov – Genomics and epigenomics of immune innovations in insects. We are recruiting a PhD student to study the evolution of innate immunity in insects. The project involves comparative analysis of the gene expression response (i.e. transcriptomics) of…
Flumethrin is one of the few acaricides that permit the control of Varroa disease or varroosis in bee colonies. However, flumethrin accumulates in hive products. We previously discovered that sublethal doses of flumethrin induce significant physiological stress in honeybees (Apis mellifera L.), however its potential impacts on the honeybee gut microenvironment remains unknown. To fill…
