Description: (Geneticist, Entomologist, Agricultural engineer)
Warwick Estevam Kerr was a renowned Brazilian agricultural engineer, geneticist, and entomologist recognized for his pioneering contributions in bee genetics and sex determination. He significantly influenced the accidental introduction of Tanzanian queen bees in Brazil, ultimately resulting in the emergence of the Africanized bee in the western hemisphere. Kerr's exceptional expertise and guidance in scientific research have made a lasting impression on the realms of entomology and agriculture, specifically in the examination of bee populations and their genetic makeup.
