Jessica Ware is an
Associate curator in invertebrate zoology at the American Museum of
Natural History. Dr. Ware’s research
focuses on the evolution of behavioral and physiological
adaptations in insects, with an emphasis on how these occur in
Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) and Dictyoptera (termites,
cockroaches and mantises). Her research group focuses on
phylogenetics/phylogenomics and uses these tools to inform their
work on reproductive, social and flight behaviors in insects.
Jessica holds a BSc from the University of
British Columbia in Canada, and a PhD from Rutgers, New Brunswick.
She was an NSF postdoctoral fellow at the AMNH 2008-2010, before
being hired at Rutgers Newark where she was an associate professor
of evolutionary biology.
She is the current president of the Worldwide Dragonfly
Association, and VP of the Entomological Society of America. She
was recently awarded a PECASE medal from the US government for her
work on insect evolution.
