Katie co-authors paper on artificial light and gene expression in mosquitoes

Katie recently published results from a project led by PhD candidate Lyida Fyie at The Ohio State University. The work showed how artificial light at night (ALAN) affects the abundance of clock genes regulating circadian rythms. Their findings indicate that ALAN may inhibit the initiation of diapause in both the tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) and house mosquito (Culex pipiens) via the circadian clock. Read more here.
