Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alexander Haverkamp"
- Alexander Haverkamp's recent research focuses on the sensory and behavioral ecology of lepidopterans, particularly how butterflies and caterpillars utilize olfactory cues for oviposition and foraging, as demonstrated in studies exploring the olfactory learning abilities of the large cabbage white butterfly and the olfactory system organization in Pieris brassicae caterpillars.
- Additional studies highlight the effects of neuroparasitism in caterpillars, revealing how baculoviruses manipulate host behavior, alongside investigations into the evolutionary conservation of chemoreceptors among sympatric butterfly species, contributing to our understanding of ecological niche selection and speciation.
- Haverkamp also addresses broader ecological issues such as food security and climate change, proposing the production of mini-livestock in China for sustainable practices, and exploring innovative uses of bees for disease detection, indicating a multifaceted approach to addressing contemporary biological and environmental challenges.
