This course will provide a solid foundation in economic
entomology, emphasizing life-history, ecological and This course will provide a solid foundation in
evolutionary factors which make certain species pests or ecotoxicology, including principle study methods in
beneficial insects. The course will cover insect diversity, ecotoxicology, distribution of chemicals in the
taxonomy and classification, beneficial insects, medically environment, transformation of chemicals in the
important insects, urban pest, agricultural pests, insects environment, exposure and uptake by organisms, and
