Heather Hines
Interim Director, Center for Pollinator Research; Interim Director, Insect Biodiversity Center; Professor of Biology; Associate Professor of Entomology
Applies genomic, transcriptomic, phylogenomic, and bioinformatic approaches to study the evolution and genetics of diverse traits in bees and wasps. This includes study of mimetic color diversification, plant gall induction, novel morphologies, speciation, and social evolution.
