Darragh, Kathy
Research Interest : My work combines chemical ecology, genetics, and behavior. In particular, I study the evolution of the chemical profiles of insects with a focus on the role of chemical signaling in mate choice and reproductive isolation.

Griffiths, Joanna
Research Interest : I use genomics to study evolutionary responses to climate change and marine and freshwater systems. In the Whitehead and Fangue lab, I am using quantitative genetics and physiology to explore thermal tolerance in Delta smelt.
