Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Jessica A. Hartshorn studies insect biology, ecology, and management, with a focus on forest and agricultural pests. Her recent work includes investigating the response of bark beetles to prescribed fire and analyzing the biology, ecology, and management of eye gnats. Hartshorn has also examined oviposition preferences and larval development of <em>Sirex nigricornis</em> wood-borers in relation to host tree characteristics and fungal infections. Her research extends to invasive species, including the detection and classification of invasive Callery pear using satellite imagery. Hartshorn also contributes to educational aspects of entomology, exploring online teaching methods and promoting the retention of women in forest entomology and pathology. She has published 29 papers, with an h-index of 7 and 146 citations. She collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Larry D. Galligan and Fred M. Stephen.
