Jayne Yack is a professor in the Department of Biology at Carleton University. Her research focuses on Neuroethology, a multidisciplinary field that explores the relationship between animal nervous systems and behavior. With a keen interest in the evolution of these systems, Yack aims to understand how species adapt to their unique habitats through their nervous systems. In her laboratory, she employs a variety of methodologies, including bioacoustics, neurophysiology, and behavioral experimentation, to study insects and their sensory systems. Key areas of research include vibroacoustic communication in caterpillars, the evolution of insect hearing organs, and acoustic communication in bark beetles. Yack is enthusiastic about mentoring new graduate and undergraduate students interested in Neuroethology, providing them with opportunities to engage in diverse projects within the lab and field settings.
