Entomologists at the forefront of integrative systems thinking
Teaching and outreach are critical components of promoting entomology and advancing public understanding of the field. Entomology, the study of insects, is central to many areas of science, including agriculture, ecology, medicine, and biodiversity conservation. Teaching and outreach are essential for promoting entomology because they bridge the gap between scientific research and public knowledge.
Associative learning is a capacity found in all animals with a nervous system. This ability enables organisms to extract the logical structure of the world by evaluating the temporal relationships between events. It leads to the formation and storage of memories, which can be retrieved in appropriate contexts to generate adaptive responses to a changing environment.
