The Hahn Insect Physiology Lab

The Hahn Lab specializes in ecological and evolutionary physiology. Our scientific work focuses on rapid adaptation, phenotypic plasticity, and seasonal biology of insects both from basic research and applied  control perspectives. Our lab is particularly interested in understanding the fundamental mechanisms underlying hardiness to environmental stress, predicting winners and losers in the face of climate change, and improving environmentally friendly methods for insect pest control including biological control and phytosanitary treatments for commodities. We are proud members of the University of Florida Entomology and Nematology Department.
