We will learn about the local insect fauna through numerous field trips and practice specimen inventory methods in the lab. Lectures will cover all major orders of insects and focus on various aspects of their ecology, behavior, and evolution. Throughout the term, students will collect specimens for the University research and teaching collections, and for their personal reference collection.

No prior experience is necessary. There are no prerequisites. This course fulfills the 9 credit laboratory requirement for Bio Majors.

June 12-13
RI: Block Island
sponsor: RINHS
BioBlitz 2010 is going to be held Saturday, June 12 and Sunday, June 13 on the northern end of Block Island. ALL PARTICIPANTS in the June 12 – 13 BioBlitz event MUST BE PRE- REGISTERED and assigned to a team. The orientation, while not mandatory, is strongly recommended. Advance planning is especially important this year as Block Island isn’t just down the street: ferries, parking, and baggage handling add special logistical challenges. Special parking, ferry, and on-island transport provisions are being planned, but you need to know about them. BioBlitz is a program of RINHS. It is sponsored by Roger Williams Park Zoo, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. This year’s local hosts include: Town of New Shoreham, Ocean View Foundation, Bluestone Foundation, Block Island Conservancy, Block Island Land Trust, The Nature Conservancy (Rhode Island Office), US Fish & Wildlife Service, Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management, Audubon Society of Rhode Island, and Interstate Navigation. http://www.rinhs.org/what-we-do/bioblitz/bioblitz2010/

CT: Stamford
sponsor: Scofield Magnet Middle School
The sixth and seventh grades at Scofield Magnet Middle School in Stamford, CT are conducting a bioblitz on June 15th. The bioblitz will take place on our campus and the adjoining Bartlett Arboretum. The arboretum is approximately 90 acres with woods, a stream, a pond and a red maple swamp. There are some open areas with high grass fields. It is a lovely area to hold a bioblitz. We, also, expect to search for night insects the evening before on June 14th. We are looking for entomologists and other experts or amateur naturalists who would be able to help. On the 15th we will be outside from 8:30 to 12:30. Lunch can be provided for any one who can help. If anyone is interested they could contact Jim Ellsworth for more details.
