Search Course Outline

More than half of all described species are insects, but collectively terrestrial arthropods are a hyper-diverse group found in almost every ecosystem, every trophic level above plants, and dominate terrestrial and freshwater food chains. The course explores the evolution of arthropods, their role in terrestrial ecosystems, and problems posed as biosecurity invaders in Aotearoa. A sound understanding of BIOSCI 338, or equivalent is assumed.

More than half of all described species are insects, and even more species await discovery and description. Insects at every trophic level above plants dominate terrestrial and freshwater food chains. Examines the evolution of insects, the importance of their role in terrestrial ecosystems, and the problems posed by insects as biosecurity invaders in non-native environments. A sound understanding of BIOSCI 320 or 338 or equivalent is assumed.
