COURSE DESCRIPTION

Course Level	Master's Degree
Course Type	Elective
Course Objective	It is thought that an education to gather information about the ecology of organisms, especially pest insects groups, which are fed on the plants, will be more effective in combating these pest groups, preventing environmental pollution, ensuring the continuity of agricultural production and making the earth more livable. Within the scope of the course, a questioning approach about the cause and effect relations in nature is exhibited and it is aimed for the students to think multi-faceted.
Course Content	Individual and Population ecology concepts, study areas, insect behavior, development and structure of populations, changes seen in natural insect populations and causes of changes in insect populations.
Prerequisites	No the prerequisite of lesson.
Corequisite	No the corequisite of lesson.
Mode of Delivery	Face to Face

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES

1	Understanding basic consepts of population ecology
2	Understanding interactions of the intra and inter populations
3	Understanding the Communite
