Brenna L. Decker's work focuses on the taxonomy, natural history, and biodiversity of wasps and bees (order Hymenoptera), including describing new species, updating species checklists, and documenting nesting behavior. More recent work also explores public engagement with insect science through museum exhibitions and interdisciplinary teaching in museum studies.
Publication output was highly concentrated around 2019 with a large cluster of related outputs, followed by sparse, irregular activity in subsequent years, averaging about one publication per year over the last five years.
