Research Interests
My research focuses on the area of evolutionary ecology and development. I am particularly interested in the role of developmental mechanisms in sexual selection and the evolution of reproductive strategies in insects. My training is in cell and developmental biology and I apply these tools to evolutionary questions. Thus my lab uses a variety of approaches including behavioral observations, cell biology and microscopy, and quantitative genetics to investigate these questions. Much of my past research has focused on two areas, evolution of male reproductive strategies in different social contexts and how early reproductive experiences shape lifetime reproductive success in females in a cockroach, Nauphoeta cinerea.
My current research is working to understand the function of the maintenance methyltransferase, DNMT1 in insects. Our current experiments focus on the milkweed bug, Oncopeltus fasciatus and the silverleaf whitefly, Bemisia tabaci. Work from our lab has demonstrated that Dnmt1 expression is essential for gametogenesis in both male and female Oncope

Patricia More, 80
Pat More
Glencoe Patricia “Pat” More (ne McClain) passed away peacefully at Gordon Hospital in Calhoun, Georgia on Monday, Nov. 20, 2017 after a decline in her health following several strokes. She was nearly 81.

Dean’s job as a salesman took the family across the country, living in such places as Oregon, California, and Texas before settling for many years in Indiana and later Tennessee.
Pat was a consummate homemaker and took great pride in practicing hospitality for friends and family alike in every place they lived. She was an active member of the ladies’ Bible study in each church they joined and could always be counted on to minister to others in prayer and practical service. She will be missed for so many reasons but worth mentioning was the way she showered people with love in the form of hot coffee and food and by never being the first one to let go in a
