Subject area "Insect Ecology"
Aims and Focus
The Subject Area "Insect Ecology" offers education in ecology, ranging from the individual to the ecology of populations, communities and ecosystems. The courses and modules offered cover theory as well as ecological methods for field and laboratory research and also include the application of ecological knowledge for pest control and conservation of biodiversity. This knowledge is essential to detect and define present and future problems and elaborate strategies for their solution. Read more about aims and focus...
