Evolutionary Biology of Herbivorous Insects (Ent-591/691).
CRN 37965

Instructor: Dr. Peter McEvoy

NEW COURSE - graduate level


This selected topics course will examine the evolutionary biology of herbivorous insects by reviewing a recent multiauthor book. The scope includes insect relationships with their host plants and natural enemies and covers both micro- and macro-evolution.

This course will be of interest to graduate students (and advanced undergraduate students with permission from instructor) working in ecology, behavior, population genetics, speciation, macroevolution, systematics, and insect management.
