Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Sushant Potdar's research focuses on the behavioral and neurotranscriptomic aspects of butterflies, particularly within the *Heliconius* genus. His work investigates how these insects respond to environmental changes and predatory cues, examining behavioral modifications in response to auditory stimuli from predatory birds. Potdar also studies the role of epigenetics and non-genetic inheritance in plant-pollinator interactions, advocating for a systems approach to understand these complex relationships in the context of the Anthropocene. His publications have explored genetic loci associated with locomotor adaptation and the neurotranscriptomic signatures related to variation in mate preference learning in *Heliconius melpomene*. Potdar has co-authored multiple publications with Erica L. Westerman.
