Dr. Andrew J. Mongue is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Entomology and Nematology at the University of Florida. His research focuses on using molecular and genomic approaches to study insects, particularly those with unusual reproductive biology or roles as crop pests. He specializes in genomic data integration to explore evolutionary processes, demography, and natural selection in insects like butterflies, moths, and true bugs. Dr. Mongue also emphasizes science outreach to engage the public with entomological research.
His work spans diverse topics including genome sequencing of invasive pests, evolutionary trajectories under genomic imprinting, and symbiotic relationships. Recent studies highlight adaptations in Lepidoptera dietary genes and the evolutionary dynamics of B chromosomes in mealybugs. He collaborates on projects addressing agricultural pest genomics and monarch butterfly parasite biology.
Publications between 2021-2025 reveal a focus on genomic imprinting, sex chromosome evolution, and the genetic basis of ecological adaptations. While no scientific awards are listed, his contributions to entomological genomics and outreach are notable. No advising or grant details are provided in the text.
Dr. Mongue’s lab focuses on molecular ecology and evolutionary genomics, though specific team or lab infrastructure details are not mentioned.
