This summer (June) I will be teaching a one-month Aquatic Entomology
Course at the Lake Itasca Field Station at the University of Minnesota
(about 4 hours NW of the Twin Cities). The course will focus on the
taxonomy and ecology of the the local fauna and will be largely taught
using field collections and lab identifications. This is a 4 credit course.
Course Description: Taxonomy and natural history of aquatic insects
including their importance in aquatic ecology, water resource
management, recreation, and conservation. Emphasis on family-level
identification of immatures and adults. Field trips scheduled to local
aquatic habitats. A collection is required. Meets from May 30 to June 24.
The class meets Tuesdays and Fridays from 8am-5pm.
