PragueUniversity of FloridaLouisiana State Univ.Texas A&M amu.eduCourse Objectives: This course is designed for graduate students, Post-Docs and Faculties who want tolearn about termites. This course provides a unique opportunity to obtain in-depth knowledge about termitebiology with a strong emphasis on ecology and evolution. This 60 hours workshopwill include extensive lectures provided by guest speakers from around the world. Ifyou are interested in social insects overall, this course is for you. Students will learn and gain experience in a range of techniques for the collection,rearing of termite species and get familiar with termite control methods. Graduate students participating to the course will be given the opportunity to give a10min presentation of their graduate research project in a student mini-symposium.2

Please keep in mind that: We are 15min away from the beach We are 45 min away from the Everglades national parks We have a diverse fauna of social hymenoptera in various parks in the area. The lab will be open for more identification sessions if needed. Butterfly World is 30 min away Fairchild Botanical garden is 45 min away.If you plan on doing group activities, we can help you organize it, per your request.Recommended LiteratureBennett, G. W., J.
