I have recently begun a postdoctoral position at the Institute of Integrative Biology at the University of Liverpool, UK, based in the lab of Dr Zen Lewis. I will be carrying out a project examining whether male mate choice evolves in response to changes in the population sex ratio, using the Indian meal moth Plodia interpunctella. The Lewis lab has been maintaining meal moth populations under experimentally altered adult sex ratios for 130-140 generations, thus providing an excellent system for examining the extent to which mate choice evolves in the lab. This work is funded by a research grant from the Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour (ASAB).
