Why Is Karim Vahed Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Karim Vahed FRES is a British entomologist. He is a professor of entomology and England manager at invertebrate conservation charity Buglife, and is an expert in crickets and bushcrickets . Education and career Vahed has been fascinated by insects since childhood. He studied biological sciences at the University of Exeter and did a PhD at the University of Nottingham on the function and evolution of nuptial feeding in bushcrickets, focusing on the role of the spermatophylax. In 1993 he joined the University of Derby, eventually becoming Professor of Entomology. and Programme Leader for the masters programme in conservation biology. In 2022 he moved to Buglife to become England Manager.
