Our mission in the lab is to promote discovery and growth as comparative physiologists, complexity scientists, and stewards of nature and biodiversity.
We study ants and other insects, exploring their natural history, collective behavior, and metabolic physiology.
We strive to be an interdisciplinary and inclusive group and believe that all are welcome.
Fr. Reichart was Providence College’s greatest entomologist.
Stay tuned for more information we’re compiling on Fr. Charles Valerian Reichart (1910-1997), his amazing collection of aquatic hemipterans, and the history of entomology at PC.
