The laboratory of Entomology and Agricultural Zoology at the University of Thessaly covers a broad range of research subjects related with both Entomology and Agricultural Zoology ranging from taxonomy and phylogenetics, biology, ecology, ethology, to pest management and insect biodiversity. The subjects of Apiculture and Sericulture are also within the research interests of our laboratory. As far as educational activities are concerned, the Laboratory of Entomology and Agricultural Zoology offers at both the undergraduate and graduate level the following courses: General Entomology, Applied Entomology, Agricultural Zoology, Apiculture and Sericulture, Protection of Stored Products, Insect Ecology, Insect Pest Management – Integrated Pest Management, and Insect Physiology and Insecticides Toxicology.
