Lisa is an entomology enthusiast that has been involved in our lab as a volunteer, technician, and now a research project student. Lisa has been working on various parasite-host relationships – including slugs and their associated nematode, Phasmarhabditis californica, as well as Drosophila nigraspiracula flies and Macrocheles subadius mites. Currently, Lisa is working on a 499 project looking at the non-consumptive effects of parasite-host interactions on the longevity and fecundity of female flies.
