Dr Darron Cullen

I’m an organismal biologist with a particular interest in phenotypic plasticity, which I explore using density-dependent social and sexual behaviours in locusts and other insects. My lab uses a variety of methods including molecular biology, histology, diet manipulation and behavioural assays, and I’m happy to support strong postgraduate and fellowship applications for projects of this nature.

I am a Fellow of the Royal Entomological Society, and co-convenor of their annual Orthoptera meeting. If you would like to come along, or even present your work, then please do get in touch – students and enthusiasts are particularly welcome!
