Corrie Moreau

The Moreau lab focuses on the symbiotic factors that drive speciation, adaptation, and evolutionary diversification. Much of the research in the lab focuses on the potential co-evolution of ants and the gut-associated bacteria to understand the diversity and putative function of host-associated microbes. Combined with data on diet, trophic ecology, evolutionary history and biogeography, we hope to illuminate how these intimate interactions influence patterns of biological diversity.
