Why Is Jacqueline Beggs Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Jacqueline Rae Beggs is a New Zealand entomologist and ecologist specialising in biodiversity and biosecurity. Beggs is a professor at the University of Auckland. Her research includes managing the impact of invasive invertebrates on the biosystem. She has also researched the identification of drivers of pollination and evaluated the use of the molecular approach to identify possible causes of detrimental changes in the environment. Beggs is associated with organisations focused on raising awareness of a wide range of issues relevant to biosecurity and advises New Zealand government agencies.
