Objectives of the Course |
To provide the basic knowledge about insect field studies methods and preparation of the insect materials for museum. The methods used to collect insects is dictated by the ultimate goal of the samples collected. Insects may be collected as a hobby for personal enjoyment of their diversity and beauty. They may be collected in conjunction with school courses on biology or entomology. Specific insects groups may be sampled to assess or measure biodiversity to help identify appropriate areas to be included in reserves. Aquatic species may be used to detect changes in water quality. Pest species may be sampled to assess presence/absence or abundance in order to determine whether control measures are necessary. Specific groups or species may be collected to acquire material for biological, physiological, ecological, molecular, and systematic studies. |
