Entomology is
the study of insects and their relationship to humans, the environment, and
other organisms. It is a very old field of scientific study. Insects have a
huge impact and play an important role as part of the ecosystems that support
human life. The humans depend on
pollinators and other beneficial insects for food production, natural pest
control, and waste decomposition. On the negative side, insects might cause
billions of dollars in yearly loss to crops, stored products, forests, and
buildings. Insect pests affect millions of people worldwide with diseases,
causing illness or even death.
An entomologist
is a scientist who specifically studies insects. Entomologists may look at
insects’ behavior, morphology, nutrition, and ecosystem. They also research
about insects and their interaction with other animals and agricultural sites.
Entomology is incredibly varied, ranging from forensic entomology to
agricultural entomology.
Entomologists
have contributed to the existing knowledge on physiology and ecology, Farmers
in which crops and food products are consumed or spoiled by insects.
Entomologists also play a vital role in preserving agricultural production
throughout the world, though there are forests in which insects are one of the
greatest destroyers of timber resources.
Entomologists
work with environmental organizations to develop effective programs to fight
these insects in order to protect forests and their biological wealth. The
latest studies on the impact and presence of insects in the ecosystem is shared
among scientists attending the OMICS Conference on entomology. The branches of
entomology are also dealt with through the abstracts presented by speakers.
Forensic
Entomology is connected to medical anthropology. Forensic Entomology is a field
of science which uses insects to gather information about a crime scene. The
wide area of forensic entomology is generally split down into three common
areas: medico legal, urban, and stored product pests. The necrophagous insects
typically prey on human remains, and are thus related to the aspects of
medico-legal systems by way of providing clues at crime scenes. The urban
aspect deals with the insects that affect man and his immediate environment.
OMICS Group invites
all the participants across the globe to attend the International Symposia on Entomology (ISE-2013) during
September 04-06, 2013 at Holiday Inn Orlando International Airport, Orlando-Florida, USA.
