Jon Harrison is an environmental physiologist who studies how insects function, interact with their environment, and evolve. His research includes studies of how environmental and genetic factors affect growth and development, the factors that determine body size, how body and colony size affects metabolic rates and organismal function, the role of pesticides in pollinator decline, and how ecological factors such as temperature and plant nutritional content influence animal populations.
He and his collaborators study how genes and the environment interact to alter animal morphology, metabolism, growth and physiological systems. To do this, they utilize a range of approaches, including evolutionary/comparative studies in field and lab, platisticity studies in the lab, and genetic and pharmacological manipulations.
His research has been applied to understanding climate change effects on animals, predicting locust outbreaks, and development of miniaturized artificial intelligence systems.
Ph.D. University of Colorado, Boulder 1987
