Evolution of Insect Silks: Silks are produced by a wide variety of
arthropods including many orders of insect, and non-homology of both the
silks themselves and silk-secreting organs attests to the fact that silk has
been invented many times. This is a project to study the taxonomic
distribution, molecular characteristics, and functional properties of insect
silks and to explore the metabolic constraints on silk evolution via the
relationship between silk composition and diet |
