Research Based Labs

• Antibacterial response (hemolymph)
  
  
• Development (hemolymph)
  
  
• Other (hemolymph)
  
  
• CO₂ herbivory
  
  
• Other (eco/physiological)

Research Based Labs

We have two different types of research based labs we have used with students. The cellular/molecular investigations focus on components of hornworm hemolymph under a variety of conditions, while the ecological/physiological experiment deals with the effect of increased CO₂ levels on hornworm herbivory.

Cellular/Molecular Investigations

• Background information
  
  
• Changes in hemolymph during the antibacterial response of M. sexta
  
  
• Changes in hemolymph during M. sexta development
  
  
• Ideas for other experiments using M. sexta hemolymph

Ecological/Physiological Investigations

• Background information
  
  
• The effect of increased CO₂ on hornworm herbivory
