BI 303 - Entomology
Credit(s): 4
The goal of this course is to develop an appreciation of insects with minor emphasis on spiders as a comparative system. Class learning goals involve examining structure and function as a background to understanding the ecology and behavior of these animals. Class DISCUSSION is highly encouraged! Topics such as development, external morphology, internal systems, sociality, defense mechanisms, reproductive behavior, feeding behavior, as well as both detrimental and beneficial aspects of insects are covered. Laboratory learning goals include developing an understanding and appreciation of insect taxonomy, morphology, and ecology through the tool of creating a collection. As such, labs during the first part of the course are spent in the field collecting insects, allowing this course to fulfill one credit of Millikin’s off-campus learning requirement. Systems Biology Content Category class.
