Jessie Ebie

Jessie Ebie is an Associate Teaching Professor at the School of Life Sciences, Arizona State University (ASU), affiliated with the Social Insect Research Group and Organismal Biology. Her research focuses on sensory physiology, communication, and chemical ecology in arthropods, particularly reproductive regulation in polydomous ant species like Novomessor cockerelli and Oecophylla smaragdina. She explores how ants use long-range signals and brood-mediated processes to regulate colony dynamics.

Her lab investigates collective behaviors in social insects, emphasizing communication networks and decision-making in ant colonies. She teaches courses in genetics, organismal biology, and research methods at both undergraduate and graduate levels. Her work bridges ecological behavior, evolutionary principles, and invertebrate studies, with a focus on pedagogical innovations in biology education.
