Yonggang Hu studies how insects—especially beetles—develop new body structures and how those traits evolve. The work combines genetics, genomics, and developmental biology to understand things like beetle horns, wing formation, and metamorphosis. Research also includes practical topics such as using dung beetles as resource insects.
