The scientist has published research in recognized venues including Forests and the International Journal of Wildland Fire. Two notable papers highlight their recent contributions: "Climate Change-Driven Cumulative Mountain Pine Beetle-Caused Whitebark Pine Mortality in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem" (2023, Forests) and "Predicting immediate and delayed fire-induced mortality of Pinus monticola and Pseudotsuga menziesii saplings using a pyro-ecophysiology fire severity approach" (2025, International Journal of Wildland Fire).

Collaboration features prominently in their research, with frequent coauthors including:

  • William W. Macfarlane
  • Brian Howell
  • Ally L. Smith
  • Cashe C. Rasmussen
  • Robert E. Spangler

Jesse A. Logan's research spans several interconnected subfields, such as Ecology, Global and Planetary Change, and Insect Science. Their work integrates these disciplines to better understand the ecological impacts of insect populations and fire on forest landscapes.

Their studies on forest insect ecology and fire effects hold relevance for managing forest health and biodiversity, with implications for both immediate and long-term ecosystem dynamics.
