Tanya Renner of the University of Arizona will discuss Genomic insights into multi-species interactions: Molecular evolution, form, and function

Evolution has played an integral role in the co-option of preexisting genes, driving the emergence of new functions that define the traits we see today. Professor Renner will discuss these processes in the context of natural history, examining the evolution of a plant lineage’s ability to digest insect exoskeletons, the chemosensory system in paussine ant nest beetles, and emerging data on the enzyme precursors that are responsible for the bombardier beetle’s explosive blast.

The Cambridge Entomological Club meets on the second Tuesday of the month from October through May.
