Course Goal / Objective
In this course, Ecology, Population Ecology and Synecology, their concepts fields of study are briefly described. As the other subject of the course, the distributions of individuals, population density, population growth and population structure features, such as insect populations are addressed. Also, the natural variations in populations its reasons are discussed.
Course Content
The structure, distribution, relationship between enviroment of insect population and possibility to make damaging.
