Insect Systematics & Phylogenetics

ENT 010


"Natural History of Insects", University of California, Davis



I provided guest lectures for ENT 10 each Winter Quarter, 2019-2023, with topics varying from a general introduction to insects, through a phylogeny-grounded summary of all insect orders, to an overview of parasitoid ecology and biology. With student and peer feedback, I iteratively improved these lectures, and homework assignments associated with them. This experience honed my ability to engage a general audience, and effectively assess learning outcomes.
