Christiane Weirauch<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Dr. Christiane Weirauch received a \u201cDiplom\u201d in biology form Eberhard Karls Universit\u00e4t in T\u00fcbingen (working on the assassin bug fauna of a small nature reserve in Southern Brazil) and obtained her PhD from Freie\u00a0 Universit\u00e4t Berlin studying systematics of Reduviidae. She then moved to New York and became a post doc in the PBI (Planetary Biodiversity Inventory) project on Plant Bugs, where she focused on the taxonomy of the mirid subfamily Phylinae. Christiane joined the faculty in Entomology at the University of California, Riverside in 2007 as a systematic entomologist. Her interest is in systematic research on Heteroptera, focusing on biodiversity, phylogenetics, and evolution. Her emphasis is on Reduviidae, Miridae, and Dipsocoromorpha, on combining morphological and molecular data, and on using these phylogenies to better understand\u00a0the evolution of these groups, e.g. different predatory strategies\u00a0in assassin bugs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

Hojun Song, Ph.D.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Hojun Song received his B.S. in Entomology from Cornell University, and M.S. and Ph.D. in Entomology from the Ohio State University. After postdoctoral training at Brigham Young University, Dr. Song joined the Department of Biology at the University of Central Florida as an Assistant Professor in 2010. He then moved his lab to the Department of Entomology at Texas A&M University, where he was promoted to an Associate Professor in 2016 and a Full Professor in 2022. Dr. Song\u2019s research focuses on documenting biodiversity and understanding evolutionary relationships in the insect order Orthoptera, which includes grasshoppers, katydids and crickets. He also studies the evolution and mechanisms of phenotypic plasticity using swarming locusts as a model system. Dr. Song has received over $16 million in external research funding from the National Science Foundation and the United States Department of Agriculture. He is Co-Editor-in-Chief of the journal\u00a0Insect Systematics & Diversity<\/em>. Dr. Song has written over 80 peer-reviewed articles and several book chapters. He received the NSF CAREER award in 2013, the Fulbright Scholarship in 2019, and the Distinguished Achievement Awards in Teaching from the Entomological Society of America (Southwestern Branch) in 2021.<\/p>\n

Duane McKenna\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr.\u00a0McKenna is William D. Hill Professor of Biology\u00a0at the University of Memphis (www.duanemckenna.com<\/a>).\u00a0Research in his lab is\u00a0focused on insect systematics,\u00a0and the\u00a0ecology, evolution, and genomic basis of insect-plant\u00a0interactions. Most\u00a0studies involve the order Coleoptera (beetles), especially the\u00a0species-rich clade Phytophaga (leaf, longhorn, and weevil beetles), which\u00a0typically feed on plants\u00a0or fungi. His research program is\u00a0broadly collaborative and involves field, collections, and\u00a0laboratory work, all grounded in a deep appreciation for organismal\u00a0natural history.\u00a0Currently, he is leading a multidisciplinary\u00a0collaboration funded by NSF to study the evolution of\u00a0chemically-mediated interactions in longhorn\u00a0beetles, and pursuing studies\u00a0of beetle genome evolution\u2014primarily focused on the genomic basis of\u00a0specialized plant-feeding. He is the founding Director of the University\u00a0of\u00a0Memphis Center for Biodiversity Research (www.umbiodiversity.org<\/a>)\u00a0and the Director of the University of Memphis Agri-Tech Research Cluster. Beyond research,\u00a0he is engaged in\u00a0education, advocacy, and policy development\u00a0relevant to biodiversity science and conservation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

Es Profesor de Control biol\u00f3gico y Comportamiento de insectos, en el Departamento de Entomolog\u00eda de la Universidad de Minnesota, EE. UU.\u00a0Sus \u00e1reas de inter\u00e9s son la biolog\u00eda de los parasitoides, el control biol\u00f3gico, la conservaci\u00f3n. Sus investigaciones van desde la gen\u00e9tica hasta la ecolog\u00eda de comunidades, con \u00e9nfasis en la ecolog\u00eda evolutiva, poblacional y de comportamiento de los parasitoides en el contexto del control biol\u00f3gico. Los proyectos actuales incluyen el control biol\u00f3gico cl\u00e1sico y por conservaci\u00f3n del pulg\u00f3n de la soja en los Estados Unidos, el control biol\u00f3gico cl\u00e1sico de un par\u00e1sito de los pinzones de Darwin en las Islas Gal\u00e1pagos y el control biol\u00f3gico cl\u00e1sico del gusano de la col importado en los Estados Unidos. En t\u00e9rminos m\u00e1s generales, los intereses en el laboratorio se centran en aspectos de la especificidad del hospedador en los parasitoides, las interacciones indirectas en los sistemas naturales y agr\u00edcolas, la determinaci\u00f3n del sexo en las avispas parasitoides, la evoluci\u00f3n de las estrategias reproductivas de los parasitoides y los servicios ecosist\u00e9micos (control biol\u00f3gico) asociados con los sistemas de cultivo de biocombustibles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
