Plant-insect interactions between the pealeaf weevil and pulse hosts implications for control in their invasive range -...

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 Join for a relaxed and insightful discussion of leading Canadian research into the Pea Leaf Weevil Sitona lineatus Date and location: 24 June 2026 @ 1pm, Rothamsted Research, West Common, Harpenden, Hertfordshire, AL5 2JQ Register here Maya Evenden 2026_finalDownload Professor Maya Evenden from University of Alberta will be visiting Pherosyn and giving a seminar. Chemical 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. Using 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: The effect of Rhizobium on pea leaf weevil host interactions Host‑finding behaviour of pea leaf weevil Conservation biological control of pea leaf weevil Prof. 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.

Sustainable Farming Special Interest Group (SIG) 2026

Sustainable Farming Special Interest Group (SIG) Date: Tuesday 14 July (10:00 – 16:00) Venue: Rothamsted Research, Harpenden To celebrate the new expanded Sustainable Farming SIG, this event brings together sustainable agriculture and forestry with pollination and parasitoids, under the theme ‘co-benefits and trade-offs’. It’s an opportunity to explore the different needs of insects in a productive landscape, and how to apply entomology towards systems that work for both society and nature. After keynote talks from experts in the field, and posters and flash talks, we will get hands on with application. The afternoon will focus on practical activities, with a site tour, and getting out in the fields will be lots of opportunity to discuss key themes during activities. Join us for: Two expert keynote talks Flash-talks and Posters A tractor tour of Rothamsted Research including the famous long-term experiments A visit to the Rothamsted Insect survey suction and moth traps Field entomology: sampling insects from farm habitats (weather dependant) Plenty of time for networking and discussion Learn more about our Sustainable Farming Special Interest Group and the Convenors. Keynote Speakers Dr.
