Ecological Entomology

Ecological entomology is a multidisciplinary field that draws on concepts and techniques from ecology, evolution, behavior, and conservation biology. The study of pollinators and their role in ecosystem health has become a major area of research in ecological entomology. The concept of trophic cascades has been used to understand the impact of insect herbivores on ecosystem processes. The use of integrated pest management strategies has become a major area of research in ecological entomology. The study of insect-microbe interactions has become a major area of research in ecological entomology.
