Entomology

The word Entomology is derived from the ancient Greek words “entomon” (ἔντομον means “insect”) and “logia” (-λογία means “study”). Entomology is the branch of Zoology, that deals with the scientific study of insects, including ants, beetles, and mosquitoes.

Entomology encompasses various aspects of insect life, including morphology, physiology, behavior, genetics, evolution, development, management taxonomy, and ecology of insects.

Applied Entomology

Practical applications of entomological knowledge in agriculture, public health, and conservation. It includes Agricultural Entomology, Urban Entomology, Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Forensic Entomology:, Invasive Species Management

Agricultural Entomology

Management of insect pests in the agricultural systems.

Biological Control Entomology

Use of beneficial insects to manage pests.

Behavioral Entomology

Examination of insect behavior, social structures, and communication.

Ecological Entomology

Study of insect interactions with their environment.

Forensic Entomology

In this branch, the focus is on using the insects to determine or estimate the time, place of human health for legal purposes. Analysis of insect evidence in criminal investigations.

Insect Ecology

This branch of entomology deals with insects’ relationships with their environment or ecosystem. It is the study of insect interactions with their environment and other organisms.

Insect Morphology

This branch of entomology studies the structure and functions of insect body parts.

Insect Pathology

The diseases that may harm or affect insects’ health are studied in this branch of entomology.

Insect Physiology

This branch of entomology deals with various functions and behavioral systems inside the insect body.

Insect Taxonomy

Insect taxonomy is the practice as well as the theory of naming insects. It is a continuous process as there are many unidentified insects still roaming on the planet earth.

Insect Toxicology

This branch of entomology deals with how insecticides and other chemicals affect the insect’s physiological functions.

Industrial Entomology

The branch of entomology deals with the study as well as rearing of insects for business or beneficial purposes.

Medical Entomology

Study of insects that transmit diseases to humans and animals.

Physiological Entomology

Investigation of insect physiology, development, and biochemistry.

Post-Harvest Entomology

This branch of entomology deals with the study, practice and control of those insects that harm the stored commodities and products like stored grain and legumes.

Systematic Entomology

Classification, taxonomy, and phylogeny of insects.
