Class meeting Nov. 14th
Objectives: 1. Distinguish Diptera from other orders2. Predict the evolutionary and ecological consequences of pesticide applications for pest control
ALE 2• Mosquitoes vector many devastating diseases
and in many countries (esp. in Africa), pesticides are used frequently to suppress mosquito populations.
• Class discussion: Despite heavy use of pesticides, why do mosquitoes and mosquito-borne diseases remain an issue?
• Group work: Diagram the sequence of likely events that often follow pesticide applications to suppress mosquito populations
