Dr. Adriana M. Jeckel

Research

I am a chemical ecologist interested in understanding the evolution and the mechanism of resistance and sequestration of dietary compounds in different types of organisms. Currently, I am a Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoc fellow studying how herbivores are able to resist and accumulate plant specialized metabolites to subsequently use these compounds against their natural enemies.
