Maya Evenden is a Professor in the Faculty of Science at the University of Alberta, specializing in Biological Sciences. Her research focuses on chemical ecology, particularly how insects utilize chemical signals for various functions including mate finding, habitat selection, and foraging. She employs an eco-physiological approach to study chemical signaling in insects, examining factors that influence the communication process. Her significant research interests include the plasticity of chemical communication in long-lived insects, exploring the trade-offs between reproduction and flight, and the development of pheromone-based pest management systems. Through her investigations, she aims to harness the role of chemical signals to enhance Integrated Pest Management programs.
