3.00 Credits
Lecture, 2 hours; laboratory, 3 hours. Prerequisite(s): BIOL 100/ENTM 100 or consent of instructor. Lectures introduce the science of insect systematics, stressing diagnostic characters of the major taxa and insect biodiversity. Laboratories focus on developing skills in insect identification to the family level. Weirauch
-
4.00 Credits
Laboratory, 4 hours; field, 8 hours. Prerequisite(s): BIOL 100/ENTM 100 or equivalents or consent of instructor. Study and field collection of insects in selected ecological communities from the diversity of life zones comprising Southern California. Students prepare specimens collected to professional standards, identify specimens, and submit their collections for grading and incorporation into the Department of Entomology's teaching and research collections. Stouthamer

4.00 Credits
Lecture, 3 hours; discussion, 1 hour. Prerequisite(s): BIOL 005C or equivalent. Principles and philosophy of classification: phylogenetic and phenetic methods, species concepts, taxonomic characters, evolution, hierarchy of categories, and nomenclature. Cross-listed with BIOL 112 and BPSC 112. Heraty
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture, 3 hours; laboratory, 3 hours. Prerequisite(s): BIOL 005A, BIOL 005B, BIOL 005C; or consent of instructor. Investigates aquatic insects as nutrient cyclers, pollution indicators, disease vectors, and fish food. Involves identification of major orders and families, morphological and physiological adaptations, and life history strategies. Laboratory emphasizes identification (collection) and includes a group field ecology project and two weekend field trips. Mullens, Walton
-
4.00 Credits
Laboratory, 4 hours; field, 8 hours. Prerequisite(s): BIOL 100/ENTM 100 or equivalent or consent of instructor. Identification, life history, ecology, distribution, and management of key pest and beneficial species learned through field observation, discussions with industry representatives, and laboratory study. Detailed notes and collections from field trips to all major growing regions of Southern California form the basis for laboratory discussion. Perring
-
3.00 Credits
Lecture, 3 hours. Prerequisite(s): BIOL 005A, BIOL 005B, BIOL 005C; or consent of instructor. Biology, ecology, and management of arthropods affecting human and animal health. Arthropods as direct pests and vectors of important diseases (e.g., malaria, plague). Disease epidemiology and prevention and control of pests and associated diseases are discussed. Mullens
-
2.00 Credits
Laboratory, 6 hours. Prerequisite(s): BIOL 005A, BIOL 005B, BIOL 005C; or consent of instructor. Concurrent or previous enrollment in ENTM 126 is recommended. Identification of arthropods affecting humans and animals. Practical epidemiological exercises, including age-grading, blood meal and pathogen identification in vectors, vector capacity assessment, bioassay procedures, and sampling. Field trip(s) to animal production and mosquito abatement and research facilities are scheduled.
-
3.00 Credits
Lecture, 3 hours. Prerequisite(s): a course in organic chemistry, BIOL 100/ENTM 100; or consent of instructor. Chemical properties and reactions of insecticides and acaricides and their modes of action and biochemical behavior in animal and plant systems. Miller
-
