Professional Summary
Janaina Cunha, Ph. D., is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Entomology at Texas A&M University. Her research interests lie in ecology, focusing on endophytic fungal entomopathogens and multitrophic interactions. Dr. Cunha has analyzed the effects of plant-associated fungi in different plant systems with herbivores and predators, evaluating insect behavior, development and the influence of volatiles in these systems. She also works with locusts as a study system to understand feeding behavior differences across multiple species.
