General And Applied Entomology
Entomologia Generalis is a bimonthly (six issues) peer reviewed international journal publishing scholarly articles papers in insect science since 1978. Its scope covers all aspects of basic and applied research dealing with insects and more broadly with arthropods inhabiting wild, agricultural and/or urban habitats. The journal also considers research integrating various disciplines and issues within the broad field of entomology and ecology.
Entomologia Generalis publishes high quality research articles on advances in knowledge on the ecology and biology of arthropods, as well as on their importance for key ecosystems services, e.g. as biological control and pollination. The journal devotes special attention to contributions providing significant advances (i) on the fundamental knowledge and on sustainable control strategies of arthropod pests (including of stored products) and vectors of diseases, (ii) on the biology and ecology of beneficial arthropods, (iii) on the spread and impact of invasive pests, and (iv) on potential side effects of pest management methods.
Entomologia Generalis welcomes review articles on significant developments in the field of entomology. These are usually invited by the editorial board, but proposals may be sent to the Editor-in-Chief for preliminary assessment by the editorial board before formal submission to the journal. The journal also considers comments on papers published in Entomologia Generalis, as well as short notes on topics that are of broader interest.
Terminology used in different subdisciplines of entomology such as insect systematics and taxonomy, biology, ecology, morphology, insect toxicology and physiology, economic entomology and pest management included giving encyclopedic treatment
Dr. M S Dhooria, M.Sc. in Entomology from Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana (Punjab), did his Ph.D. in Entomology from IARI, New Delhi. He was awarded Junior Research Fellowship in M.Sc. and also awarded Senior Research Fellowship during Ph.D. by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, New Delhi. Dr. Dhooria has more than 36 years of experience in teaching, research and extension education of entomology. He joined as Senior Entomologist in the Department of Entomology, Punjab Agricultural University Ludhiana, and retired in that capacity in 2006. He has published more than 125 research papers, contributed book chapters, attended many national and international conferences held on different aspects of insects and mites. Friendship Forum of India, New Delhi awarded him certificate of Honour and Gold Medal for his lifetime achievements in Entomology.
This text book aims at to provide an up to date, general and applied account of Entomology which is written in a simple and lucid language keeping in view the syllabi of Entomology in M.Sc. Zoology & M.Sc. (Ag.) of various Indian Universities. The book will also be useful to those who are preparing for competitive examinations conducted by various central & state Government agencies for recruitment. The book is equally useful to those dealing with pests and pest control. It is hoped the book will be useful not only to students but also to agriculturist, horticulturist, foresters, veterinary and clinical doctors and laymen dealing with pest control.
Entomologia Generalis is an international journal for general and applied entomology.It publishes papers on experimental, comparative and descriptive problems and studies in all fields of research on insects and other terrestrial arthropods. It aims to continually supply new information on the results of recent and current studies and promising theories in this science, relating simultaneously to various fields or closely connecting them.
Encyclopedic Dictionary of General and Applied Entomology has been written keeping in view the fact that different terminology employed in teaching and researchers on different aspects of studies on insects and their management is found in scattered sources. Moreover, in the last 3-4 decades, many developments have been made especially in economic entomology. An attempt has been made to present the terminology in entomology and pest management in the most authentic and comprehensive way keeping the requirements of teachers and researchers in mind. Most of the terms have been given in encyclopedic form.
Terms relating to the close relatives of insects such as mites and ticks and some other organisms which are pests of crops have also been included. Appendices giving useful information regarding various prefixes and suffixes used in formation of terms; and terms based on colour and shapes etc. have been included at the end for better understanding of the subject. Some useful literature for gaining more information about different terms is also listed.
Web pages for Crop Sciences 270, Introduction to Applied Entomology, provide general course information and lecture and lab outlines.

The primary subjects of the entomology collection housed at Albert R. Mann Library are general and applied entomology. Related areas include parasitology, medical entomology, ecology, zoological nomenclature, and allied orders of arthropods. The collection consists of both new acquisitions as well as materials from the Comstock Memorial Library of Entomology. Types of materials in the collection include: journals (print and electronic); current research monographs (print and electronic); conference proceedings; laboratory and training manuals; an extensive number of reprints; departmental theses; rare books; and more. The entomology literature spans a number of languages, including English, French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Chinese, and others.
Florida is unique as it is the only state having 1862 and 1890 Land- Grant Universities with established entomology programs, and Florida A&M University is the only Historically Black Land-Grant University that oilers a B.S. and MS. degree in entomology. Cooperation between the two Universities in developing this innovative minority program represents a historic achievement in the profession of entomology and a landmark in higher education for both Universities. The cooperative Ph.D. in entomology has received strong support from a number of state and national societies, government agencies and industrial leaders.
Professors at Florida A&M University offer a broad spectrum of aquatic, agricultural, medical and veterinary entomology courses in Tallahassee and the research laboratories on the main campus at the Center for Biological Control, and at the Center for Air and Water Quality are available for thesis research. Graduate students can take course work at both universities depending on their interests and their major professor can be any regular faculty member at either university. Scholarships and assistantships are available for qualified students.
A minimum of 90 semester credits beyond the B.S. degree is required to obtain the cooperative Ph.D. degree. A maximum of 30 graduate credits may be transferred into a cooperative Ph.D. program from other universities. If a minor is taken, at least 12 credits in the minor subject are required, all of which must he courses 5000 and above. If two minors are taken, at least eight credits in each are required. It is policy that all cooperative Ph.D. students will take statistics through at least a beginning graduate course (STA 6166 or equivalent) and at least a beginning biochemistry course at the undergraduate level. Doctoral students will be held responsible for a broad range of basic knowledge in their discipline. The qualifying examination includes questions on morphology, physiology, taxonomy, ecology and applied entomology.
Insect systematics and their role in the ecosystems. Fundamentals of entomology and biotechnology applied to entomology. Insect body organization and main functions. Interactions with the external environment. Behaviour and feeding. Insect anatomy and physiology. Biology and development of insects and their populations. Insect tissues as target for insecticidal molecules. Biotechnological approach to study insect biology and to the discovery of new pesticides. Entomopathogenic agents and their interactions with insect pests. Communication among insects (semiochemicals). Practice exercises: case study analysis.
Entomology is the study of insects and related arthropods. Applied entomology stresses their relations to plants and animals, including humans. Courses fall into two groups: broad, general courses suitable for any student; and professional courses that provide training for research, teaching, and administration in colleges, experiment stations, health services, government agencies, industry, foundations, and private practice.
