The goal of IC-E3 is to study the modulation of the insect response to chemical signals at physiological, behavioural, and ecological time scales.
How can insect odour-dependent systems adapt to changes in the environment? Environmental
changes can be short or long term and must be met by adaptations at phenotypic or genotypic
levels. IC-E3 aims to study modulatory processes at different levels in insect chemical ecology, ethology and evolution, from single molecules to whole animals, from sensitisation and learning to evolution.
IC-E3 was announced 2006-06-29 as one of 20 Linnaeus grants, covering natural science and medicine. IC-E3 is funded by FORMAS and SLU
The research is done within the Chemical Ecology Group at SLU Alnarp.
