General Entomology Course
Enhance your entomology expertise by connecting insect taxonomy, life cycles, and behaviour to actual farming landscapes. Plan field studies, track insect diversity, interpret impact data, and develop practical conservation strategies for habitats bordering farmland. This course equips you with hands-on skills for effective insect monitoring and protection in agricultural areas.

What will I learn?
This course provides practical skills to set up realistic study areas, map land use, and analyse climate and habitat data for a 50-hectare reserve. You will evaluate agricultural effects on insect diversity, choose target orders and taxa from global databases, master taxonomy and morphology at order level, and implement strong monitoring, data handling, and conservation measures suited to habitats next to farmland.
