When we see a dragonfly, we normally see adults, which are capable of impressive aerobatics and have astonishing eyesight. Yet these fearsome aerial predators began life underwater, and when they undergo the transformation from nymph to adult they also change from water to air. Dragonflies truly are amazing! Joining us to talk about these incredible animals is Dr. Jessica Ware from the American Museum of Natural History in New York, where she is an Associate Curator and the current Division Chair in the Division of Invertebrate Zoology. Jessica's research focuses on the evolution of behavioral and physiological adaptations in insects, with an emphasis on how these occur in dragonflies and their close relatives, damselflies. Her research group uses genetics to study the evolutionary relationships between species and uses these tools to inform their work on reproductive, social, and flight behaviors in insects.Thank you for listening!

They're acrobatic fliers with long bodies and veined wings and their babies breathe through their butts: dragonflies. Let's get into the difference between a damselfly and dragonfly, how fast they dart around, how big they were in the age of the dinosaurs, sci-fi aviation inspiration, mating choreography, attracting them to your yard (maybe to eat them) and lots more with scholar, American Museum of Natural History curator, and dragonfly expert: Dr. Jessica Ware.Visit Dr. Ware's website and follow her on Google Scholar, Instagram and XBuy Jessica's children's book, Bugs (A Day in the Life): What Do Bees, Ants, and Dragonflies Get up to All Day?, on Amazon or Bookshop.orgA donation went to the World Dragonfly AssociationMore episode sources and linksSmologies (short, classroom-safe) episodesOther episodes you may enjoy: Entomology (INSECTS), Lepidopterology (BUTTERFLIES), Cicadology (CICADAS), Sparklebuttology (FIREFLIES), Dipterology (FLIES), Entomophagy Anthropology (EATING BUGS), Plumology (FEATHERS), Melaninology (SKIN/HAIR PIGMENT), Ophthalmology (EYES)Sponsors of OlogiesTranscripts and bleeped episodesBecome a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a monthOlogiesMerch.com has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!Follow @Ologies on Instagram and XFollow @AlieWard on Instagram and XEditing by Mercedes Maitland of Maitland Audio Productions and Jacob ChaffeeManaging Director: Susan HaleScheduling Producer: Noel DilworthTranscripts by Aveline Malek Website by Kelly R.

That's a question a lot of people have, honestly. But a kid named Rosie was bold enough to ask us to investigate why. So, in the latest episode, we dig in on why cockroaches get such a bad rap and why you might want to reconsider if you're not a fan. Only two percent of the world's cockroaches are considered pests. Those are the ones that can live in houses and potentially make us sick. But the vast majority of cockroaches don't bother humans at all! Some, like the social cockroach species known as termites, work to decompose organic material and are hugely important to our environment. So where do people learn negative attitudes toward insects? We dig deep into insects with Jessica Ware, an entomologist and curator at the American Museum of Natural History. She's also the host of the PBS digital series Insectarium.

COP28 Host Had Plans to Promote Oil and Gas, Documents ShowThe United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP28, began this week in Dubai. This is an annual event, where leaders and delegates from around the world come together to discuss how to collaboratively reach important milestones for the future of the planet. Goals like slowing the rise of temperatures on Earth will require buy-in from all major players to be successful.But this week, a document leaked that showed the United Arab Emirates planned something at odds with the event: promotion of the oil and gas industries. This has led to increased skepticism of COP and its goals among both critics and attendees.Ira is joined by Tim Revell, deputy US editor of New Scientist, to talk about this story. Plus, how a single bitcoin transaction uses enough water to fill a swimming pool, the way nutrients in soil drive biodiversity, and how amino acids could be formed alongside stars.Researchers Detected Cicada Emergence With Fiber-OpticsIf you were in the eastern United States during the summer of 2021, you likely heard the incessant, whirring buzz caused by the mass emergence of Brood X periodical cicadas. That event, which occurs once every 17 years, brought forth countless cicadas to shed their skins, mate, lay eggs, and die. But it turns out their arrival wasn't just something that you could witness out the lawn or against your car windshield. The sound of their emergence was something that could be detected by fiber-optic cables.Dr. Sarper Ozharar, a researcher who studies optical networking and sensing at NEC Labs in Princeton, New Jersey, has worked on techniques using fiber-optics to sense the vibrations of things like traffic, sirens, and gunshots. Loud noises produce vibrations that subtly distort optical “backscatter” within a glass fiber-optic cable. Using AI, researchers can decode those vibrations and determine what, and where, a noise may have occurred near the fiber.In the summer of 2021, Ozharar and colleagues detected an unusual frequency signal in their test data. With the help of entomologist Dr. Jessica Ware of the American Museum of Natural History, they eventually determined that it was the whirring of the cicada swarm. Their find is the topic of a report published this week in the Journal of Insect Science.Ozharar joins Ira Flatow to talk about how fiber-optic sensing works, and how an electronics and communications lab ended up publishing in an entomology journal. To stay updated on all things science, sign up for Science Friday's newsletters.

The spotted lanternfly has returned to New York City and the surrounding area. Jessica Ware, entomologist and associate curator in invertebrate zoology at the American Museum of Natural History and vice president of the Entomological Society of America, explains the threat posed by this invasive species, why their numbers seem even larger this year and what to do about them.

The American Museum of Natural History just opened up its newest wing: The Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation. Entomologist Dr. Jessica Ware, who is also the museum's associate curator of Invertebrate Zoology, shares what she wants visitors to learn from the 'insectarium' and butterfly habitat she worked on, and Preeti Gupta, senior director for Children, Family and Youth Programs and Research, shares some of the community engagement that the museum is planning for its new Data Lab Classroom and Research Library.

Bugs are everywhere: in every corner of the world, even the Artic. But of the estimated 10 million species of bugs worldwide, only a million have been studied or described. Given the increasing rate of extinction, can scientists hope to learn about them all? What do bugs do all day? Where do they live? How do they communicate? This episode explores: How Dr. Jessica Ware became a curator and professor at the American Museum of Natural History. Dr. Ware's travels around the world, to study bugs in their habitats. Why she's passionate about encouraging minoritized persons to go into science. Ways to decolonize knowledge and materials. Tips for science communication.

Jessica Ware is obsessed with bugs. My guest today is a leading researcher on insects, the president of the Entomological Society of America and a curator at the American Museum of Natural History. Learn more about her here.You may not think that insects and human health go hand-in-hand, but as Jessica makes clear, they're closely related. A lot of people care about their health, and the health of other creatures on the planet, and the health of the planet itself, but researchers like Jessica are studying another thing we should be focusing on even more: how these seemingly separate areas are deeply entwined.  (This is the theme of an upcoming event hosted by Leaps.org and the Aspen Institute.)Maybe it feels like a core human instinct to demonize bugs as gross. We seem to try to eradicate them in every way possible, whether that's with poison, or getting out our blood thirst by stomping them whenever they creep and crawl into sight. But where did our fear of bugs really come from? Jessica makes a compelling case that a lot of it is cultural, rather than in-born, and we should be following the lead of other cultures that have learned to live with and appreciate bugs.Jessica and I talk about whether learning to live with insects should include eating them and gene editing them so they don't transmit viruses. She also tells me about her important research into using genomic tools to track bugs in the wild to figure out why and how we've lost 50 percent of the insect population since 1970 according to some estimates – bad news because the ecosystems that make up the planet heavily depend on insects. Jessica is leading the way to better understand what's causing these declines in order to start reversing these trends to save the insects and to save ourselves.

Critical Zones | Terrestrial University [22.07.2020] How can insects help us to perceive and respond faster to the climate crisis and environmental threats? Sybille Neumeyer, Michael John Gorman and Jessica Ware in conversation. How is climate change experienced by a dragonfly? How can – in a data-driven world – old forms of insect-human relationships be recollected, to recover a diversity of knowledge, as fertile ground for new allies and terrestrial communities? And, what implications does the ecological crisis and species extinction have for the work of Natural History and Science Museums? Taking Sybille Neumeyer's work »souvenirs entomologiques #1: odonata / weathering data« as a starting point, this conversation will investigate how insects can invite us to reconsider a diversity of relationships between humans and non-humans. While multiple insect identities are medially shaped and reshaped by co-evolving modes of mapping, monitoring and collecting, their embodied environmental knowledge, their sensorium and senses are an inspiration for alternate ways of perceiving and being in dialogue with the world.

Critical Zones | Terrestrische Universität [22.07.2020] Wie können uns Insekten helfen, die Klimakrise und Umweltbedrohungen schneller wahrzunehmen und darauf zu reagieren? Sybille Neumeyer, Michael John Gorman und Jessica Ware im Gespräch. Wie wird der Klimawandel von einer Libelle erlebt? Wie können – in einer datengesteuerten Welt - alte Formen der Beziehung von Insekten und Menschen wieder in Erinnerung gerufen werden, um eine Vielfalt an Wissen wiederzuerlangen, als fruchtbaren Boden für neue Verbündete und terrestrische Gemeinschaften? Und: Welche Auswirkungen haben die ökologische Krise und das Artensterben auf die Arbeit von Naturkunde- und Wissenschaftsmuseen? Ausgehend von Sybille Neumeyers Arbeit »souvenirs entomologiques #1: odonata / weathering data« soll in diesem Gespräch untersucht werden, wie Insekten uns dazu einladen können, eine Vielfalt von Beziehungen zwischen Menschlischem und Nicht-Menschlischem neu zu überdenken. Während vielschichtige Identitäten von Insekten durch sich wechselwirkende Praktiken des Kartierens, Beobachtens und Sammelns medial geformt und umgestaltet werden, bieten das verkörperte Umweltwissen, ihr Sensorium und ihre Sinne eine Inspiration für alternative Wege, die Welt wahrzunehmen und mit ihr im Dialog zu sein.

In the midst of a crisis in pollinator populations, we're being asked to kill spotted lanternflies -- to prevent damage to trees and their spread to agricultural areas upstate. Entomologist Jessica Ware, associate curator in invertebrate zoology at the American Museum of Natural History and president-elect of the Entomological Society of America, talks about this unwanted species and how to help sustain the bugs we need. →NYC Parks information on the Spotted Lanternfly infestation, including how to identify them and what to do if you see them. @BrianLehrer to squish lantern flies attack them from the front, they take off by jumping forward — Jean Haggas (@HaggasJean) September 22, 2021 @BrianLehrer you could give out the Spotted Lanternfly Hotline 1-888-422-3359. — Sami Plotkin (@samiplotkin) September 22 @BrianLehrer #spottedlanternflies all over Jersey City, so far I've only seen adults.

After admiring it briefly, we stomped it. — Eric Hipp (@eroyhipp) September 22, 2021 @BrianLehrer I found one on my car at the Short Hills Mall parking lot and squished it, then another one flew on my car and I killed it. Feeling pretty good about getting rid of two I noticed 2 dozen on the tree next to me. Is stomping really effective enough? — Jill Hammarberg (@Hammarspeak) September 22, 2021 @BrianLehrer join @inaturalist and report spotted lantern fly photos — Paul Cavalconte (@PaulCavalconte) September 22, 2021 I just camped in the DE water Gap. The spotted lantern fly has already become predominant insect in that area. We saw at least 4 per square meter. We killed at least 100. — Babin (@Babin69406647) September 22, 2021 @BrianLehrer I'm a crane operator at port Newark, and I've seen them all over the piers. Clusters of them. We've had to keep our windows closed although we're 14 stories in the air. I've killed at least 30 lol. — OPUSXTRAVELXART (@MauricePorcher) September 22, 2021 My 10 year old son taught me that Trees of Heaven can be ID'ed by smooshing their leaves and smelling them - the leaves smell of burnt peanut butter. We've found & squashed many Lanternflies all over Williamsburg by locating the trees first. — Hee Jin Kang (@heejola) September 22, 2021 I squished one while waiting for the M15 bus on Saturday and felt like an environmental hero for a second — Patrick says “You cant bully a billionaire” 🌹☀️🦷 (@PatrickForNYC) September 22, 2021

The dragonfly is the fastest flying insect in existence—regularly breaking most residential speed limits. This is just one of the many fascinating details discussed by entomologist Jessica Ware. Tune in to discover: How dragonflies use interception-style predation to catch mosquitoes and other flying insects How an understanding of dragonfly aerodynamics could be used as bioinspiration for our own flight styles How male dragonflies use their two penises to mate with a female Why dragonflies can be used as a measurement of water pollution levels Jessica Ware is an assistant curator in invertebrate zoology at the American Museum of Natural History whose work centers around insect evolution—and that of dragonflies in particular. She welcomes listeners into the world of dragonfly social behaviors, physiology, and development, discussing aerial hunting, eating, and mating styles, the unique stages of their life cycle, and more. Ware also discusses her latest work, which involves genome sequencing on over 6,000 species of dragonflies and damselflies, and the collection of morphological, ecological, and other data to develop a complete picture of the evolutionary history of these insects. The hope is that this information will lead to a better understanding of how insects in general are responding to climate change, and the evolution of color, vision, dispersal, and migration.

What is Entomology? We sit down with Associate Curator of Invertebrate Zoology at the American Museum of Natural History, Dr. Jessica Ware, to discuss Entomology, her path to being a Scientist, and diversity in Science.

After 17 years underground, periodical cicadas are emerging in 15 states. They sing. Mate. Then die. We hear the wonders of the period cicada. Jessica Ware joins Meghna Chakrabarti.

Our story this week on the podcast is very much a product of this current moment in American history, in which race and racism are at the front of all of our minds. It's a story about acknowledging and addressing the disparities that exist for people of color in the field of entomology – and in science generally.In this episode we're talking with Dr. Jessica Ware and Ph.D. candidate Stephanita Sallqa Tuwa BondocGawa MaflaMills. They are both members of Entomologists of Color, a group that's seeking to improve the participation and experience of people of color in entomology through a very specific initiative: increasing their participation in scientific societies.We talk about this initiative, but we also talk about Jessica and Stephanie's experiences as women of color in science, and some of the things that all of us can do to be part of the solution.Entomologists of Color• www.entopoc.org• entopoc@gmail.com• Twitter @EntoPOCWEEKLY UPDATE• About 94% of wild bee and native plant species networks lost (York University) https://bit.ly/3jeRPO7• Community scientists identify bumble bees correctly 50% of the time (York University) https://bit.ly/2ZG2YQu• EU has failed to halt decline of bees and butterflies, auditors say (Reuters) https://reut.rs/2WwpiKi• Are pollinators at risk from road pollution and being hit by vehicles?
