 Dr. Megan Fritz will present 'Genetic\, behavioral\, and ecological diverg
 ence associated with urban habitat use in Culex vectors of West Nile virus
 ' as part of the Appalachian Laboratory's Visiting Scholar Seminar Series.
  To learn more about Dr. Fritz's research\, visit her lab website. \n\n\n
 \nMegan Fritz is an Associate Professor of Integrative Arthropod Biology i
 n the Department of Entomology at the University of Maryland\, College Par
 k\, and affiliate of the University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Com
 puter Studies.  Her research program elucidates the impact of human activi
 ties on genomic variation in arthropods. While the focal organisms used in
  her research are from disparate taxonomic groups (moths from the subfamil
 y Heliothinae\, and Culex pipiens assemblage mosquitoes)\, they serve as m
 odels to address a broad evolutionary question: how do human-mediated chan
 ges in the landscape sculpt arthropod genomes and produce adaptive phenoty
 pic change?  Development of two model systems\, one in agriculture and one
  in the public health domain\, has enabled her to consider the downstream 
 consequences of rapid adaptive change in arthropods\, and apply evolutiona
 ry insights to both enhance agricultural productivity and reduce vector-bo
 rne disease transmission.\n\n\n\nPlease note that seminars in the Visiting
  Scholars Series are open to the public but are intended for scientific au
 diences.  To learn more about our programming for general audiences\, plea
 se visit our outreach webpage.   \n\n\n\n
