COURSE DESCRIPTION: Evolution will be discussed with the use of insect examples. Amazing examples of adaptations between insects and plants they pollinate, insect sociality, and how insects communicate with each other. There is a beetle which feeds on ants in their nest by looking and smelling like the ant. There is parasitic wasp that finds its host by smelling a chemical combined from the host insect’s saliva and the plant sap, and another parasitic wasp that feels the vibration of a beetle larva deep inside a tree trunk. There is an orchid in which the flower resembles and smells like a female bee and is pollinated when the male bee mates with the flower. There is a chemical war between plants and insects that eat them with plants making chemicals to repel insects and insects adapting to overcome those defenses. Join me as I offer examples of how far evolution can go to ensure the survival insects and other organisms that exist with them. 

INSTRUCTOR BIO: Dr. Brown has a Master’s Degree in Ecology, a PhD n Entomology, and a 30 year career of research on insect ecology.
