Haselton
Lab
Focus
Research
in the Haselton lab focuses on insect
nutritional physiology with particular emphasis on the alterations
in neuroendocrine signaling, metabolism and related behaviors resulting
from the detection of ingested nutrients. Work
in the lab has centered on flies as they are both well-established
models for insect and animal feeding physiology, and as they possess
unique feeding-related adaptiations that make them interesting subjects
of study. Our research is aimed at illuminating the
mechanisms
that integrate the
neurohormonal regulation of feeding with the overall physiological
response to the ingestion of nutrients in insects.
