  • 2011 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

Kenneth F. Haynes is affiliated with the University of Kentucky in the United States. Their research primarily spans the field of Agricultural and Biological Sciences with a focus on several subfields such as Insect Science, Genetics, Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, Infectious Diseases, and Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis.

The main topics explored by Haynes include insect and arachnid ecology and behavior, insect and pesticide research, plant and animal studies, dermatological diseases and infestations, insects and parasite interactions, neurobiology and insect physiology research, and forest insect ecology and management.

Haynes' recent publications reflect a concentration on termite behavior, insect physiology, and pest management. Notable papers include:

  • Cooperative policing behaviour regulates reproductive division of labour in a termite (2020, Proceedings of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences)
  • Temporal Changes in Cuticular Hydrocarbons During Worker-Reproductive Transition in the Eastern Subterranean Termite (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae) (2020, Annals of the Entomological Society of America)
  • Managing Corpses From Different Castes in the Eastern Subterranean Termite (2020, Annals of the Entomological Society of America)
  • Oviposition Behavior of the Bed Bug, Cimex lectularius (Hemiptera: Cimicidae) (2023, Journal of Insect Behavior)
  • Factors influencing the capture of Japanese beetles: wind speed and direction, trap deployment protocol, lure type, and trap efficiency (2025, Annals of the Entomological Society of America)

Haynes frequently publishes in the following venues:

  • Annals of the Entomological Society of America
  • Proceedings of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences
  • Journal of Insect Behavior
  • Parasites & Vectors
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)

Collaboration is a component of Haynes' research approach, with frequent co-authors including Qian Sun, Xuguo Zhou, Austin Merchant, Sydney E Crawley, and John H. Borden.

In 2011, Haynes was recognized as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
