Course objectives
Student will acquire basic knowledge on the systematic placement of insects, their diversity, morphology, anatomy, ontogeny and phylogeny. At the end of the course, student should be able to correctly identify all insect orders, use and understand scientific terminology related to insect morphology and anatomy, find individual morphological structures and organs on/in the insect body and to explain their function in the adults or immature stages.
