Research Interests
Dr Jamie Seymour works in biological control and integrated pest management techniques as well as conducting research on the seasonality of tropical invertebrates.
Recent and Current Projects Include
-
Seasonality in tropical invertebrates, particularly the cues responsible for diapause initiation and termination. Current projects include diapause in the butterfly Euploea core (Common Australian Crow butterfly)
-
Modelling changes in populations of tropical invertebrates, with particular emphasis in tropical cubozoans.
-
General ecology of tropical invertebrates with emphasis on tropical insects such as the White Kneed Cricket.
-
Relationship between venom toxicity and prey in tropical invertebrates such as cubozoans.
-
Applied Entomology, PFF and bio control
-
Insect / plant interactions
Teaching
Animal Biology for Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences
The Diversity of Animal Life
