<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size: large;">The biogeography of insect and symbiont genetic diversity<br/>
<br/>
Insects are dominant in most terrestrial ecosystems and comprise a<br/>
majority of all named species on earth. Despite their importance, we<br/>
have a poor understanding of global biodiversity patterns in<br/>
insects—particularly for genetic diversity, the most fundamental level<br/>
of biodiversity that underlies population persistence and adaptive<br/>
potential. This PhD project will use macrogenetics approaches to<br/>
investigate the biogeography of genetic diversity in insects and the<br/>
globally distributed insect symbiont Wolbachia. The project scope would encompass determining how diversity patterns of hosts and symbionts are jointly influenced by ecology, geography, climate, and host biodiversity. The student would have the opportunity to compile and work with various publicly available sets of genetic markers (mitochondrial, nuclear, microsatellite, genomic) to assess their utility and congruence.</div>
