Course Goal / Objective
Preparation techniques and mediums which are used for Taxonomic and systematic purpose in entomology will be explained. For this purpose, method for slide mounting techniques of aphids, coccids, whiteflies, trips and parasitoids will be discussed separately. In addition, in order to examine the morphology of insects, preparation methods from various body parts of the, Orthoptera, Hemiptera, Coleoptera and Lepidoptera orders will be studied and especially genital preparation techniques will be studied.
Course Content
For identification of the small insects especially smaller than a few mm, microscopic studies are needed and for this purpose slide mounting of the specimens is obligatory.. In this course, the permanent and temporary slide mounting techniques of small insects, labeling and collection techniques will be studied.
