OverviewAI-generated summary

Abbigail N. Merrill studies the neurogenomic and behavioral responses of butterflies to learning experiences, with a focus on sex-dependent differences. Her research in *Bicyclus anynana* butterflies investigates how learning affects gene expression in males and females. Merrill also engages in community outreach, exploring the influence of wing patterns and weather on butterfly behavior, particularly in the context of pollinator research.

Her work has resulted in three publications, with a total of nine citations. Merrill collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Erica L. Westerman, Gabrielle A. Agcaoili, Matthew J. Murphy, and Grace E. Hirzel, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications. She is actively involved in research, as indicated by her recent publications and active status.
