This course is an introduction to the evolution, ecology and conservation of insects. The course will focus heavily on interactions between humans and insects, both historically and in modern times. A goal of the course is that you will develop the foundation and tools you need to continue learning about the importance of insects, their impacts on human society and/or other environmental issues of importance to you.
Notes: There is an optional tier 1 service-learning component of the class which involves GPS mapping of fire ant colonies in public spaces (Audubon Park, City Park, schoolyards) and an educational outreach presentation for K-5 students about invasive insect species.
