Overview of the biology of insects. Emphasizes how this enormously abundant and important group of animals has resolved the basic challenges of survival and reproduction. Principles of physiology, behavior, ecology, and evolution are introduced using insects as examples. The roles of both beneficial and detrimental insects will be discussed.

Bees are a charismatic group of insects with important roles in human society. They are critical crop and wild flower pollinators, and have been cultivated for pollination, honey, and wax production for thousands of years. Some bee species live in social groups, including the honey bee, which lives in one of the most complex societies in the animal kingdom. This course will focus on bee biology, diversity, behavior, and basic beekeeping to teach students about scientific approaches in diverse areas of biology.

Vectors are living organisms that can transmit infectious diseases between humans or from animals to humans. Vector-borne diseases have impacted human lives and society through history. This introductory course examines the major vector-borne diseases affecting humans through multiple perspectives (biomedical, cultural, political, and social) on a global scale. Special attention will be paid to arthropod-borne diseases with the greatest impact on history such as mosquitoes, ticks, and lice. Lectures will be supplemented with readings and videos.
