====Mosquitoes==== [[Justin Walguarnery]] and [[Maria Costantini]] are working on mosquito projects in the lab. This is in collaboration with the Sutton lab at UH Hilo and the Medeiros lab at UH M`anoa. We are interested in a range of questions ranging from utilizing gene drive technology such as underdominance, population suppression with Wolbachia, and understanding demographic parameter values such as population sizes, migration rates and dispersal distances. ====Honeycreepers==== [[Maria Costantini]] is working on [[hawaiian_honeycreepers|Hawaiian honeycreeper]] microbiota projects in the lab. ====Collector Urchins==== We are working on sea urchin genomics in collaboration with Áki Láruson. ====Sponges==== [[Michael Wallstrom]] is working on [[Sponges|sponges]] in Hawai``i including characterizing a new species of sponge associated with invasive algae. ====Crocodiles==== [[Helen Sung]] is working on understanding hybridization between the American crocodile (//Crocodylus acutus//) and Morelet's crocodile (//Crocodylus moreletii//) in Central America. ====Bees==== We are working on Hawaiian solitary bee (//Hylaeus//) genomics.
