ENVB * 4290 – Applied Insect Physiology F (3-2) [0.50]

This course examines major physiological systems of insects at the molecular, cellular and whole animal levels of organization. Emphasis is placed on identification of potential physiological targets for insecticides, and molecular mechanisms of insecticide resistance. Applications of analytical chemistry, electrophysiology, mathematical modeling and molecular biology to the study of insect physiology are discussed. The course includes tutorial exercises examining the external and internal morphology of representative insect species. (Offered in even-numbered years.)
