BIOL 365 Insect Ecology of Streams, Forrests, and Fields
Life history, behavior, and ecology of terrestrial and aquatic insects and their roles in pollination, gerbivory, predation, agroecosystems, disease and vector epidemiology, invasion ecology, soil ecology, biodiversity and freshwater ecology. Practical applications include study of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approaches to reduce negative impacts of pest species in agricultural, structural, and medical settings wile preserving biodiversity and ecosystem functionality.
