Scholar-generated biography
André Nogueira Alves is a Research Fellow at the University of Melbourne, focusing on the nutritional biology and developmental physiology of Drosophila species. His research explores how nutritional environments influence larval performance, foraging decisions, and adult oviposition choices. Alves investigates genetic variation in macronutrient tolerance, body size plasticity under combined nutritional and thermal stress, and the role of ecdysone in growth and wing development. His work also examines the impact of temperature and insecticide exposure on insect survival, as well as the genetic mechanisms underlying insecticide resistance and spermatogenesis. Alves integrates evolutionary perspectives to understand resistance adaptations and mitochondrial haplotype evolution.
