Overview

Kerry L. Shaw is affiliated with Cornell University in the United States. Their research contributions span several fields primarily within agricultural and biological sciences, as well as biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. Shaw's work frequently intersects with multiple subfields such as ecology, evolution, behavior, systematics, genetics, molecular biology, and plant science.

The main topics covered by Shaw's research include plant and animal studies, orthoptera research and taxonomy, ecology and vegetation dynamics, genetic diversity and population structure, animal behavior and reproduction, fossil insects in amber, and plant molecular biology research.

Among their publications, several papers stand out by publication year and venue:

  • In 2021, "Insect Radiations on Islands: Biogeographic Pattern and Evolutionary Process in Hawaiian Insects," published in The Quarterly Review of Biology
  • In 2021, "Extensive Linkage and Genetic Coupling of Song and Preference Loci Underlying Rapid Speciation in Laupala Crickets," published in Journal of Heredity
  • In 2022, "P1446: PHASE I STUDY DATA UPDATE OF PHE885, A FULLY HUMAN BCMA-DIRECTED CAR-T CELL THERAPY MANUFACTURED USING THE T-CHARGETM PLATFORM FOR PATIENTS WITH RELAPSED/REFRACTORY (R/R) MULTIPLE MYELOMA (MM)," published in HemaSphere
  • In 2024, "Coupling of Barriers to Gene Exchange: Causes and Consequences," published in Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology
  • In 2024, "How Important Is Sexual Isolation to Speciation?" published in Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology

Shaw has collaborated frequently with several researchers, including:

  • Mingzi Xu
  • Erik B. Dopman
  • Maria R. Servedio
  • Roger K. Butlin
  • Carole M. Smadja

The most common publication venues for Shaw's work include Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), The Quarterly Review of Biology, Journal of Heredity, and Molecular Ecology.

In recognition of contributions to their fields, Shaw was awarded the fellowship of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation in 2010.
