OBE graduate student Erin McCullough awarded both an NSF predoctoral fellowship and a National Academy of Sciences Ford Foundation Diversity Fellowship. Erin studies flight behavior and flight performance in giant rhinoceros beetles. Large males produce disproportionately long horns, small males produce short horns, and females produce no horns, so rhinoceros beetles are an excellent opportunity for studying the functional costs of elaborate sexually, selected traits.
