Jessica Gillung joined the Department of Natural Resource Sciences at McGill University in January 2020 after completing her PhD at the Bohart Museum of Entomology, University of California Davis, where she studied the evolution and taxonomy of parasitoid flies that specialize on spiders. Following this, she worked as a Postdoctoral Associate at the Danforth Lab, Cornell University, where she concentrated on the evolution and diversification of aculeate Hymenoptera, including stinging wasps, ants, and bees. Her research combines fieldwork with morphology, DNA sequence data, bioinformatics, and comparative methods to reconstruct the evolution of insects and elucidate patterns of diversification across various taxonomic levels. Her integrative research approach seeks to understand the biotic and abiotic factors that shape and influence patterns of insect biodiversity.
