High resolution photo and cutline UF/IFAS News Release 11.05.98 University Of Florida Cyberbugs Teach Students About Entomology By Cindy Spence , High Resolution Photo Available Source: John Zenger, (352) 392-1901, ext. 141 GAINESVILLE-If you think you've got bugs in your computer, try logging into the University of Florida's 4-H Bug Club. With a few keystrokes, bugs are virtually coming at you from the computer screen. Virtual is the key word here, because these are cyberbugs for a cyberclub. Bugmaster John Zenger, a professor in UF's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, says kids, bugs and cyberspace make a good mix. "This appeals to today's youth, who are used to multimedia glitz and color," Zenger said. "More and more, children have access to the World Wide Web and can join online activities. "And kids like bugs," Zenger adds. "They only develop an aversion to insects after exposure to grown-ups' 'icky bugs' prejudices." The club is a little different for the 4-H program. "Meetings" are conducted via the Internet, and kids can get into the "clubhouse" via any computer with online capability. On the agenda: learning. "Insects are an important part of the ecosystem and the natural environment," Zenger said. "Insects impact us in numerous ways, far more than you might imagine: the food we eat, clothes we wear, whether we have a picnic."

Teaching Activities I teach two graduate courses, Population Ecology and Population Analysis . Population Ecology is team-taught with Dr. Kirk Moloney of Botany and it covers basic theory of population dynamics including growth models, predation, competition, and population projection. Population Analysis covers statistical and analytical techniques for estimating parameters of biological populations, and is frequently taken by students from Entomology Statistics , and Zoology/Genetics . I also teach an undergraduate course called Ecological Methods which includes elements of statistical design, population sampling and estimation, field sampling of vegetation, and mapping habitat using geographic information systems. I have been instrumental in developing computing facilities for students in biological sciences at Iowa State University. Back to Home Research Activities Teaching Activities

Introduction Public Services Center for Aquatic Ecology Center for Biodiversity ... INHS Homepage CENTER FOR ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY Edward J. Armbrust, Director Public Service Illinois is constantly threatened by the appearance of new insect pests as well as changes in the behavior of existing pests that produce new and different problems. Center entomologists often are required to address these issues in a timely manner to provide Illinois citizens with management recommendations that are based on quality science and that are environmentally safe. The present western corn rootworm problem is an excellent example of a well-managed insect pest emerging as a new and different problem that has required intensive research to explain the pest's behavioral changes and its impact on corn production. Center entomologists also conduct statewide surveys for exotic pests of potential concern. Studies continue to investigate the distribution and expansion of the introduced Asian tiger mosquito in the greater Chicago metropolitan area and elsewhere in the state. Each year the Center scientists and extension affiliates cooperating with scientists in the Center for Biodiversity identify insects and arthropods for individuals and a variety of entomology projects. Insect Expo are activities that stimulate young inquiring minds. This year we have organized a number of activities to provide learning opportunities for the Community Youth Creative Learning Experience (CYCLE) program for Chicago youth. Center staff also conduct a variety of workshops and short courses and make presentations to the public at museums, public and private organizations, and the university's Agronomy Day and Ag Open House.

Since the project began in 1997, over 4,000 volunteers have taken part in the effort to control purple loosestrife. As a result of volunteer efforts, significant reduction in purple loosestrife has begun to occur in several parts of Michigan.

16. Teaching And Extension From time to time staff members are also called on to teach in other their insectproblems has always been a vital part of Department of entomology activities. http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~insects/teachex.htm

Teaching and Extension Teaching Teaching in the Department of Entomology falls into three categories, namely four-year undergraduate students, graduate students, and short-course students. Undergraduate students interested in entomology take the "Preparation for Research" curriculum with elective courses in entomology; their training stresses a strong background in the basic sciences in preparation for specialized training in graduate school. Most students in the College of Agriculture take at least the introductory course in entomology required, of course, for all entomology majors. For graduate students a wide range of courses is offered, with emphasis on fundamental studies of insects-their structure, identification, development, and physiology-a fundamental training which has long been the objective of the department. Under Headlee a series of six credit courses were offered; more recently the department has not only split these courses into smaller units but has added courses in history, medical entomology, economic entomology, and field methods to give students an opportunity for a wider selection of courses. Courses in insecticides and apiculture have been offered for many years. A few courses are offered jointly with other departments; for example, "Arthropods and Human Disease," and "Plant Viruses and Their Insect Vectors." The more diversified list of courses which the Entomology Department has offered since 1944 is reflected in the department's increased graduate enrollment since that date.

The Amateur Entomologists' Society's Bug Club for Young Entomologists Although many of the events and activities on this site are available only to UK students, it nevertheless offers useful information for the care of classroom insects and arachnids, as well as games, a kids' newsletter, and a forum for educators to share insights regarding invertebrate education. The Arachnology Home Page From Belgium, this site bills itself as "a repository and directory of arachnological information on the Internet." With more than 1000 links, AHP provides a host of resources for students K-university. Included subject areas: primary education; courses & educational projects; museum & zoo exhibitions; arachnologists' research home pages; arachnophobia; myths, stories, poems, & art; taxonomy, classification, & DNA databases; publications, databases, & societies; conferences; collections; and books & reports.

F. INTEGRATED RESEARCH AND EXTENSION ACTIVIT I E S Renewable Resources EDUCATION: Twelve-month grazing and forage planning workshop (2- and 3-day) Trace and macro mineral management workshops : Four workshops were conducted in western North Dakota for livestock producers. Ranchers learned mineral needs for livestock, mineral status on rangeland and pastureland, and balancing mineral needs to improve management skills of the grazing livestock animal and became proactive in maintaining and understanding a well-balanced mineral program. These workshops were designed to teach livestock producers potential problems in mineral deficiencies and how to balance a supplement program to improve livestock health. Over 150 ranchers participated in these workshops, having a direct impact on the health and production potential of an estimated 30,000 head of livestock. Educating youth on the importance of the range resource : A 4-day range youth camp was conducted in western North Dakota for youth interested in the range resource and range judging. Youth learned the importance of range to livestock producers, the environment community, and wildlife enthusiasts. They learned basic fundamental range management practices and how to judge the resource for health and value for forage and wildlife habitat. Over 40 youth ages 13-18 participated in the 4-day camp and over 140 participated in the State Range Judging Contest. We believe any involvement of youth in the importance of the range resource and fundamental needs for managing these lands will create a more well-rounded adult.
