BIO407 BASIC ENTOMOLOGY

BIO407 – Basic Entomology introduces students to the biology, diversity, morphology, physiology, and ecological roles of insects. The course explores the classification of insects into orders, their life cycles, reproductive strategies, and adaptations to various environments. It also examines their role in pollination, decomposition, and as vectors of diseases.

Through lectures, dissections, and fieldwork, students learn to identify common insect taxa and understand their importance in agriculture, public health, and ecosystems. The course lays a strong foundation for careers in pest management, ecological research, and environmental monitoring, highlighting the significance of entomology in both natural and applied sciences.
