生物学理学学士-昆虫学

昆虫和其他相关节肢动物是所有陆地生态系统的主要消费者。昆虫比其他所有动植物种类总和还多。从实际意义上讲，昆虫在食品，纤维资源的生产，加工和使用中与人类在各个层面上竞争，并且在世界许多地方构成对人类健康的主要威胁。对昆虫生物学的详细了解是制定合理，有效和可持续控制措施的先决条件。同样，了解这种控制措施的生态后果，特别是农药的使用，是法律和道德上的要求。生物学是生命科学。生物学研究涵盖分子，细胞和生理过程，进化多样性，生态关系和全球系统。生物学家研究从史前时代到今天活着的生物的生命，并模拟未来生命的变化。
Insects and other related arthropods are the dominant consumers in all terrestrial ecosystems. There are more kinds of insects than all the other species of animals and plants combined. In a practical sense, insects compete at all levels with humans in the production, processing, and use of food and fiber resources and constitute a major threat to human health in much of the world. A detailed understanding of insect biology is a prerequisite to developing rational, effective, and sustainable control measures. Similarly, an understanding of the ecological ramifications of such control measures, particularly pesticide use, is a legal and ethical requirement. You can join a math, science, and engineering community residence hall at WSU Pullman-share classes with your neighbors, study together, get free tutoring, and use the hall's computer lab. The E. Paul Catts Memorial Lectureship, named for the noted WSU entomologist and communicator, features speakers who embody his spirit by their ability to make science accessible to the public.
