Entomology (11022)

Course description
Biological control is the suppression of pests and weeds using living organisms. It involves fascinating interactions between organisms such as plants and herbivores, and insects and the predators and parasitoids that attack them. These interactions can provide spectacular protection from invasive species, but risks to the environment are possible as well, so biological control interventions must be undertaken with great care. We will explore these interactions and interventions in depth in this class.
