Jayne joined Mote Marine Laboratory as a Mote Postdoctoral Fellow in January 2012 after completing her Ph.D. at the University of South Florida, but has been working with the National Center for Shark Research since 2006. Her dissertation work, conducted in residence at Mote, focused on the integration of information from the olfactory, visual, lateral line, and electrosensory systems in the feeding behavior of nurse sharks, Ginglymostoma cirratum, bonnethead sharks, Sphyrna tiburo, and blacktip sharks, Carcharhinus limbatus. Jayne’s current research examines the sensory and cognitive processes of sharks, bony fish, and sea turtles, with a focus on navigation and homing behavior, feeding, and the effects of sensory pollution.
