Full Description
This exam focuses on the physiological and behavioral changes in insects due to pesticide exposure. Key theoretical principles include dose-response relationships and mechanisms of action at molecular and cellular levels.
Understanding the effects of pesticides is crucial for developing sustainable pest management strategies, which have significant implications for agriculture, ecosystem health, and biodiversity conservation.
The exam will test the student's ability to verbally articulate the physiological and behavioral responses of insects to chemicals and discuss their environmental implications.
Candidates will demonstrate knowledge of relevant toxicity assays and methodologies used in entomological toxicology.
Sample Questions
- What are the main physiological changes observed in insects after pesticide exposure?
- How can behavioral adaptations in insects influence pesticide efficacy?
