Why Is Catherine Sole Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Catherine Lynne Sole is a South African entomologist. She leads the Invertebrate Biosystematics and Conservation Group in the department of zoology and entomology at the University of Pretoria. Sole completed her PhD in entomology in 2005, followed by post docs in Prof Scholtze’s group and she was appointed in 2013 as a senior lecturer in the department, promoted to associate professor in 2016 and to full professor in 2023. Sole has contributed significantly to the understanding of scarabaeoid and nemopterid systematics at both a local and international level. Sole is one of the African coordinators of the CGSG – Conservation Genetics specialist group, which provides advice on genetic policy and management for the IUCN.
