Rachelle M. M. Adams studies the biology, chemistry, and social behavior of ants and other social insects, including fungus-growing ants, fire ants, and honey bees. Her work spans ant systematics (classification), chemical ecology (how insects use chemical signals like alkaloids and tyramides), microbiology of symbiotic relationships, and applied topics like natural antibacterial treatments for honey bee disease. This research blends fieldwork, laboratory experiments, and genetic/microbial analysis to understand insect societies and their associated microorganisms.
Publication output has fluctuated over the past decade, with a notable peak in 2022 followed by a slower period in 2023-2024 and a modest increase in 2025.
