Coleopterology - Science topic

This communication discusses the perennial gender disparity in science, focusing on the underrepresentation of women in research and leadership roles, particularly in specialized fields like Coleopterology. Significant barriers continue to hinder women's participation in scientific fields. The case of Dr. Analyn Anzano Cabras, a noted Filipino weev...

Until the 18th century, the dominant language of science and so also entomology was Latin. People without appropriate skills were largely excluded from the knowledge and its development. On the basis of first German-language entomological books of the 17th and 18th centuries, it will be shown how especially the coleopterology emancipated itself fro...
