Forest Insect Biology, Ecology and Population Dynamics 2024 Fall

Forest Insect Biology, Ecology and Population Dynamics (this is not a self-paced course)

October 14 – 25, 2024

This course will explore the biological characteristics and life cycles of the important groups of insects that cause forest disturbances. Forest insect ecology will also be studied to develop an understanding of the conditions that can modulate insect populations and lead to outbreaks. The various drivers of population growth will be examined, including factors that are affected by climate change.
