OVERVIEW
The Evolutionary Biology & Behavior Research Lab studies the behavior and natural history of insects and closely related arthropods. We also study and produce public-oriented media communicating science. We use techniques from the fields of chemical ecology, behavioral ecology, biomechanics, evolution, and social science.
Beyond research, our lab actively works with designers and artists to use insects and biology as a source of inspiration. We also produce and publish media about insects and science through the YouTube channel Ant Lab and PBS-NC.
This lab is supported in partnership with the College of Sciences at North Carolina State University. The head of the lab, Dr. Adrian Smith, has a joint faculty appointment with the Department of Biological Sciences at NCSU. Active researchers in the lab are undergraduates, graduate students, and post-doctoral researchers associated with NCSU.
