Jennifer Apple

Associate Professor

Integrated Science Center 258

(585)245-5442

applej@geneseo.edu

Dr. Jennifer Apple has been a member of the Geneseo faculty since 2007.

In the Apple lab, we are pursuing two main lines of research:

  1. the behavior, ecology, and genetics of a non-native ant-mimicking spider, and
  2. the ecology and diversity of cavity-nesting bees and wasps on campus.

See more details under My research below.
