Foraging Behaviour -- The Life-cycle -- Genetics -- Mating Behaviour -- Mating Systems -- Populations and Communities -- Population Dynamics -- Phytophagy.Over the past three decades there has been a dramatic increase in theoretical and practical studies on insect natural enemies. The appeal of insect predators, and parasitoids in particular, as research animals derives from the relative ease w…
Choosing Materials for Projects -- Active Collection Devices -- Passive Collection Devices -- Cages and Observation Arenas -- Miscellaneous Techniques.Insects are great classroom study organisms. They are easy to collect and raise and have a fascinating array of life histories. Because they are small and have tremendous reproductive capacity ecological studies of dispersion, predation, parasiti…
