Course description

They left the water, conquered the land, and took to the skies. They can be friends: providing invaluable pollination and nutrient recycling ecosystem services, but they can be foes: pest species can sometimes reach plague proportions. Some are masters of disguise, while others flaunt their spectacular beauty. Insects are undoubtedly the most successful animal group, in diversity, geography and ecology. They are also a rich part of our environment, economy and culture. This is a course for the budding entomologist and will train you in professional entomological skills: (1) insect identification, (2) specimen preparation, (3) advanced microscopy, and (4) communication.
