Welcome to Phytophagy
We are in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and Department of Entomology at Cornell University. Our lab studies the ecology and evolution of plant-insect interactions, including aspects of herbivory, community ecology, phenotypic plasticity, chemical ecology and coevolution. Research projects include work on local biodiversity, ecology of invasive plants, the biology of Monarch butterflies, and the evolution of plant defense strategies.
Anurag is the Director of the Cornell Chemical Ecology Group and former Associate Director for the Cornell Center for a Sustainable Future.
