In this previously unseen video<\/a>, Jean-Yves Meunier, an entomologist and ecologist at the IRD\u2019s IMBE, sheds light on the life and career of Lucy Evelyn Cheesman, a pioneer of scientific exploration.<\/strong><\/p>

Through his expert perspective, he puts things into perspective the significance of Lucy Evelyn Cheesman\u2019s work and its lasting contribution to our understanding of living organisms.<\/strong><\/p>

From the 1920s onwards, Lucy Evelyn Cheesman led several scientific expeditions in the Pacific and South-East Asia to study the biodiversity of regions that had as yet been little documented. Her research made it possible to collect<\/strong> and describe<\/strong> numerous species, thereby considerably expanding scientific knowledge of insects and tropical ecosystems.<\/p>

She also became the first female curator of the entomological collection at the Zoological Society of London. Her work contributed to development of natural history collections<\/strong>, which are essential for the study and understanding of biodiversity.<\/p>
