National Level Hands on Training workshop on Principles and Practices of Animal taxonomy with special reference to Insects
National Level Hands on Training workshop on Principles and Practices of Animal taxonomy with special reference to Insects
(Zoological Survey of India, Ministry of Environment an Forests, Govt. of India)
PROPOSED THEME: Principles and Practices of Animal Taxonomy with special reference to Insects
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
A one week National Level Hands-on Training Workshop on Principles and Practices of Animal Taxonomy with special reference to Insects is being organized by Zoological Survey of India, Western Ghat Regional Centre, Calicut, Kerala. The one week residential workshop is intended to educate and popularize Animal Taxonomy – the science of discovering, naming and classifying animals. To demonstrate and communicate the underlying concepts in taxonomy, the workshop will focus on standard techniques and procedures practiced in the science of Entomology.
The subject area specialists of repute will deliver presentations/lectures and also impart hands-on training on collection, preservation, curation and identification techniques, with regard to significant insect groups like Lepidoptera (butterflies & moths), Odonata (dragon flies & damselflies), Mantodea (Praying mantids), Hymenoptera (ants, bees and wasps), Coleoptera (beetles), Diptera (flies), Orthoptera (Grass-hoppers) and Aquatic insects (including Hemiptera). A one- day field visit will be organized to Vanaparvam Biodiversity Conservation Park, Kakkavayal, Calicut, to get acquainted with the procedures and techniques related to inventorying insects. Modern trends in insect taxonomy like molecular systematics will also be dealt with.
The medium of instructions will be English.
BROAD OBJECTIVES
The workshop aims
· To introduce the Principles, Practices and Scope of Animal Taxonomy
· To Impart practical/hands-on training in standard Taxonomic Procedures
· To develop basic skills in Identifying the Insect fauna
TARGET GROUPS:
