A new study from Megha Treesa Tom, former doctoral researcher in Sonja Bisch-Knaden's group, suggests that gene expansion of odorant receptors in tobacco hawkmoth are linked to the enhanced detection of odors emitted by valuable nectar sources.

Welcome to our institute, Fortesa and Sreyashi!
Our lab is thrilled to welcome two new PhD students! Fortesa Rama will focus on disentangling a multipartite symbiosis in leafhoppers and Sreyashi Mandal will experimentally investigate the evolution of intracellular symbiosis in beetles. Join us in welcoming them @MPI_CE!
