DESCRIPTION:\n	\n		\n			Behavioral\, physiological\, and genomic traits associate
 d with early nesting in bumble bees: hosted by the Gillung Lab\n\n			Dr. Clau
 dineia P. Costa's research investigates the consequences of queen reproduc
 tion and brood care for bumble bee population dynamics and\, especially\, 
 larval development and individual nesting success and aims to unravel the 
 drivers of life history transitions in queens\, including those associated
  with nest-founding and the entry into diapause. Dr. Costa focuses on iden
 tifying what causes queens to change their investment in brood care when t
 hey initiate nests and become social. This project explores the cause of c
 hanges in brood care through analyses of gene expression in the brain to i
 dentify the molecular basis of brood care in bumble bees. Dr. Costa also e
 xplores how nutritional status influences the preparation for (or entry in
 to) diapause and has found that queens with more sugar-rich diets enter di
 apause earlier and that they could recuperate their nutrient stores during
  the pre-diapause period after short-term starvation.\n\n			Dr. Claudineia Pe
 reira Costa\, Postdoctoral Researcher\, UC Riverside\, USA\n\n			Dr. Claudine
 ia P. Costa earned her PhD from the University of São Paulo in Brazil\, wh
 ere she studied the population dynamics of orchid bees in different areas 
 of the Atlantic Forest. She is an expert in molecular biology and have wor
 ked on bees for over 10 years. In 2018\, she joined Prof. Hollis Woodard’s
  lab at UC Riverside. She is interested in integrating distinct fields\, s
 uch as conservation physiology and developmental biology\, and help to bui
 ld a comprehensive understanding of their impacts on pollinator communitie
 s. Her research program uses bees as a model system for understanding the 
 mechanistic basis of complex behavioral\, evolutionary\, and ecological pr
 ocesses.\n\n			Zoom link: contact jessica.gillung [at] mcgill.ca (Prof. Jessi
