Jessica Lee Ware is a Canadian-American evolutionary biologist and entomologist.[1][2] She is the associate curator of invertebrate zoology at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.[3][4] In addition, she is a principal investigator at the Sackler Institute for Comparative Genomics and an associate professor for the Richard Gilder Graduate School.[5]

Ware has served as president of the Entomological Society of America,[6] and as President of the Worldwide Dragonfly Association.[7] She studies the evolution of insect physiology and behavior, particularly dragonflies and dictyoptera, as well as their biogeography (geographic distribution).[5] Ware was a contributor to a major study of the phylogenomics of insect evolution,[8] and developed molecular phylogeny of hexapoda.[9] Ware warns of the dangerous losses occurring in insect taxonomies, which are being reported as high as 80%.[3]
