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

October 2 - 13, 2023

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.
