ENTO 3501 Entomology for Educators Description: Hands-on laboratory course designed to provide high school science teachers, FFA or 4H leaders with all of the resources and background information needed to use insects as a model to teach scientific concepts. Curriculum and resources are provided at the level of 7-12th grade and may be adapted to other levels as needed. Credit hours: 1
ENTO 4464 Insect Biology and Classification Prerequisites: ENTO 2993 or equivalent or consent of instructor. Description: Insect phylogeny, taxonomy, behavior, morphology and physiology in the context of ecosystem function. Major roles of insects in shaping ecosystem diversity, as indicators of environmental integrity, and as vectors of plant and animal pathogens and parasites. Credit hours: 4 Contact hours: Lecture: 2 Lab: 4 Levels: Undergraduate Schedule types: Lab, Lecture, Combined lecture and lab Department/School: Entomol & Plant Path ENTO 4484 Aquatic Entomology Prerequisites: ENTO 2993 or ZOOL 1604 or consent of instructor. Description: Biology, taxonomy and ecology of insects and other invertebrates, inhabiting freshwater environments. Emphasis is placed on identification and biology of individual taxa. Roles of insects in aquatic ecology as a forage base, and as indicators of biotic integrity of aquatic systems. Linkages between aquatic systems and terrestrial systems are also examined. No credit for students with credit in ENTO 5484 or ZOOL 5484. Same course as ZOOL 4484. Previously offered as ENTO 4483.
