Objectives

To provide an advanced understanding of the evolution and diversification of hexapods by examining the major extant and extinct evolutionary lineages through a comparative analysis of their morphological, functional, and ecological traits. The course highlights the importance of these insights for understanding the ecological roles of insects within natural ecosystems and their relevance to biological conservation. Students will also develop advanced skills in the integrative identification of taxa at various taxonomic levels, combining morphological and molecular approaches.
