Patrick T. Rohner studies how insects such as dung beetles and sepsid flies develop, grow, and evolve, and how factors like diet, temperature, and pollutants shape their bodies and life histories. His work links developmental biology with evolution, examining how the way traits form during growth can influence the direction of evolutionary change over millions of years. He also investigates the ecological roles of insects and their responses to environmental stressors like climate change and chemical contamination.
Publication output has been steady with fluctuations, averaging around eight papers per year over the past five years and rising again in 2025.
