GRADUATE SUPPORT CURRICULA

It is vital for Entomology and Biological Control graduate students to have knowledge of related biological fields that are encountered in their professional experience. Included are identification of diseases transmitted to humans and agricultural crops by insect vectors, discovery and preliminary identification of suitable candidates for biological control, and alternate avian hosts of insect transmitted viral diseases. Future taxonomic changes will require agreement among specialists. Following are some recommended introductory courses:

Insect Morphology, Insect Pollination, Economic Botany

Invertebrate Zoology, Mycology: The Study of Fungi

North American Birds, Insect Predators & Parasites,

Common Butterflies, Illustrations of Beneficial Species
