Kayla I. Perry's research focuses on forest and ground-dwelling insect communities, including how forest disturbances, invasive species like the emerald ash borer, and habitat changes affect insect biodiversity and behavior. Recent work also incorporates new technologies such as computer vision and machine learning to identify and track arthropods (insects and related creatures) in the field. This research area spans forest entomology, ecology, and conservation, with practical applications for monitoring and managing forest health and invasive pests.
