Hi there! I'm Maeva, born and raised in Reunion Island, and I consider myself an evolutionary biologist with a love for tropical systems and most insects. I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Entomology Department at Texas A&M University in the USA studying grasshoppers. Before that, I was lucky to live in one of Japan's southern islands and studied honey bees and Varroa mites at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology.
