Entomology

Dr. Kenneth Kaneshiro - the dynamics of sexual selection of Hawaiian Drosophilidae and the role it plays in the speciation process; the biology of small populations and the role of sexual selection in populations faced with extinction.

Dr. Andrew Taylor - the effects of aspects of parasitoid biology on population dynamics, the effects of population spatial structure and metapopulation processes, and the application of these ideas to conservation biology and biological pest control.
