Due Thursday

Respond to the following in a minimum of 200 words:

In Week One we assess Insect Anatomy. We begin by identifying the external anatomical features used in keying insects into taxonomic groups. Additionally, we explain the relationship between the internal structures and physiological function of insects.

Consider the reading and activities that you have completed this week.

What physiological function of insects do you find most fascinating? Why?

Due Thursday

Respond to the following in a minimum of 200 words:

In Week Two we assess Insect Habitats and Life History. This includes describing the ecological interactions that affect the population dynamics of insects. Along those lines, we will explore how insect behavior patterns relate to those same population dynamics. Finally, we explain how abiotic and biotic factors insect behaviors and interactions.

Respond to the following in a minimum of 200 words:

In Week Three we assess Identifying Insects Using Taxonomic Keys. We begin by analyzing those embryological features and development patterns that are relevant to identifying adult insects. We also learn to identify adult insects using either a taxonomic or dichotomous key. When done, students will be able to explain how to use a taxonomic or dichotomous key to identify insect orders.

Consider the reading and activities that you have completed this week.

Which key do you prefer to use for identifying insect orders: taxonomic or dichotomous? Why do you prefer that key?
