Invitation to courses on the Ecology of Insects led by Prof. Ian Hardy from the University of Nottingham (UK)

Prof. Ian Hardy studies a range of topics within the fields of basic and applied behavioural and evolutionary ecology, including social behaviours, interspecific interactions, biological pest control, ecological consequences of insecticide use, etc. The organisms he has been studying include many species of insects (including parasitoid wasps, locusts, and crickets), as well as African birds of prey and scavengers, elephants and humans.
