SUMMARY:Plant-insect interactions between the pealeaf weevil and pulse hosts implications for control in their invasive range - External
DESCRIPTION:Seminar: Plant-insect interactions between the pea leaf weevil\, Sitona lineatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and pulse hosts in Alberta\, Canada with implications for control in their invasive range\n\n\n\nJoin for a relaxed and insightful discussion of leading Canadian research into the Pea Leaf Weevil Sitona lineatus \n\n\n\nDate and location: 24 June 2026 @ 1pm\, Rothamsted Research\, West Common\, Harpenden\, Hertfordshire\, AL5 2JQ \n\n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaya Evenden 2026_finalDownload\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProfessor Maya Evenden from University of Alberta will be visiting Pherosyn and giving a seminar.  \n\n\n\nChemical signals underpin essential insect behaviours\, from mate finding and foraging to habitat selection. However\, the efficacy of these signals is often mediated by the physiological state of the insect and its surrounding ecological context. \n\n\n\nUsing an eco-physiological lens\, this talk explores the mechanisms governing insect movement and response to chemical cues across several model species. Maya will highlight recent research from her lab\, including the work of three of her PhD students on: \n\n\n\n\nThe effect of Rhizobium on pea leaf weevil host interactions\n\n\n\nHost‑finding behaviour of pea leaf weevil\n\n\n\nConservation biological control of pea leaf weevil\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProf. Maya Evenden is a Professor at the University of Alberta\, where she has been a faculty member since 2003. Her research focuses on insect chemical ecology\, specifically examining intra- and inter-specific interactions across multiple trophic levels.  \n\n\n\nThis work facilitates the development of semiochemical-based management strategies\, including mating disruption\, attracticides\, and pheromone-based monitoring programs. \n\n\n\n\n\nAn active educator and communicator\, Dr. Evenden developed the “Bugs 101” Massive Open Online Course (MOOC)\, which has reached a global audience and earned her the Entomological Society of America’s Science Communication Award. Her commitment to pedagogy and student development has further been recognized through University of Alberta awards for remote teaching and graduate mentorship. \n\n\n\nDr. Evenden has held numerous leadership roles within the scientific community\, serving as President of the Entomological Societies of Alberta and Canada\, and the International Branch of the Entomological Society of America. In recognition of her sustained contributions to the field\, she was awarded the 2023 Entomological Society of Canada (ESC) Gold Medal. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister here
