Goals
|
The aims of this course are introduce the principles and methods of systematic entomology, review insect morphology to understand the basis for insect diversity and success, overview the major habitats of insects and adaptation processes, survey major groups of insects and become familiar with their morphology, ecology and evolution, learn methods and gain experience in the collection, curation and identification
|
|
