7 :
Insect systematics
:
phylogeny
and
classification
Because there are so many guides to the identity and classification of birds, mammals, and flowers, it is tempting to think that ...
8 :
Insect biogeography
and

14 :
Insect defense
Although some humans eat insects (section 1.6), many “western” cultures are reluctant to use them as food; this aversion extends no further ...
15 :
Medical
and
veterinary entomology
Aside from their impact on agricultural and horticultural crops, insects impinge on us mainly through the diseases they can transmit to humans ...
16 :
Pest management
Insects become pests when they conflict with our welfare, aesthetics, or profits. For example, otherwise innocuous insects can provoke severe allergic ...

Methods in entomology
:
collecting
,
preservation
,
curation
, and
identification
For many entomologists, questions of how and what to collect and preserve are determined by the research project (see also section 13.4). Choice ...
