Matt and Behnaz have both submitted their PhD’s for examination in the last few weeks – its a huge achievement for them both! Congrats
PhD update – Behnaz
I have just finished the final experiments of my PhD project assessing the thermal tolerances of aphids (Myzus persicae). I have investigated the effect of repeated high temperature on many physiological characters such as thermal tolerance, respiration, and osmolytes such as polyols and sugars. Also, with using chemically defined diets, I have been revealing the Read More…
Congrats to Behnaz

Berlize Groenewald visiting from Stellenbosch
Berlize is visiting the Insect Ecology Lab for a few weeks to assist Behnaz and Zac in setting up their Insect Respirometry methodology on aphids and dung beetles. Hopefully Berlize will also be measuring respriation of some of the charismatic meat ants during her time here. Berlize is a Phd student with John Terblanche in Read More…
