Responsabile scientifico: Prof. Stefano Speranza

E-mail: speranza@unitus.it

 In the laboratory, the main activities focus on documenting, visually studying, and scientifically representing insects and their behaviors using advanced imaging and mathematical modeling techniques. Here are some of the key activities that can be performed:

1. Macro and Micro Photography of Insects
2. Videography for Behavioral Observation
3. Image Analysis and Scientific Measurements
4. Editing and Multimedia Presentation
5. Behavioral Research and Analysis
6. Entomological Modeling

Entomological modeling activities include various advanced applications that integrate computational biology, simulations, and the study of insect behavior. These activities are based on innovative research, using mathematical and computational models to describe, analyze, and predict complex dynamics in insect populations and their habitats. Some specific activities in a laboratory following these methodologies include:

1. Predictive Models for Biological Control
2. Modeling of Insect Dispersion and Colonization
3. Modeling of Feeding Behavior
4. Modeling of Plant-Insect Interactions
5. Simulations of Climate-Insect Interactions
6. Modeling of Insect Biodiversity and Conservation

In summary, this type of laboratory combines advanced imaging and modeling technologies with entomological research, creating an ideal environment for studying insect biodiversity, morphology, and behavior with great precision.
