The University of the Arctic is offering an Arctic and Boreal Entomology
course from 25 July through 5 August 2005 in Churchhill, Manitoba.
General scope of the class:
- Interactions of the northern entomo-fauna with biotic and abiotic
elements (e.g., plant/insect relations; entomo-pathogens; insects and
wildlife; coastal and freshwater habitats).
- Behavioural adaptations of the northern entomo-fauna.
- Effects of disturbances such as fire, vehicles (soil compaction), and
human habitation.
The class also includes field excursions to tundra, krummholz, rock
outcrops, seasides, boreal forests, glacial moraines, and treeline.
The course is tailored to the level of expertise of the participant
students. The previous student body has included keen amateur
naturalists through undergraduate and graduate students to professors of
entomology.
