Applied Entomology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies pests and their natural enemies through the relationship between agriculture and insects.
AboutAbout the lab
Considering how agriculture and small animals interact
The Applied Entomology Lab studies the relationship between human activities, including agriculture, and small animals such as insects.
Besides insects, the lab has worked with a wide range of animals, including mites such as spider mites and acarid mites, and soil-dwelling animals such as tardigrades.
Prof. Nomura studies the life history of insects, pest control, and molecular phylogenetics, centering on Plusiinae (semi-looper moths) of the family Noctuidae.
Associate Professor Yasuyuki Cho is also part of the same research group.
Students are assigned to individual faculty members.
Key terms
- Molecular phylogenetics
- Comparing DNA sequences to investigate the relatedness of organisms and the course of their evolution
- Natural enemy
- An organism that eats or parasitizes another organism. Natural enemies are used to reduce pests
- Symbiotic microorganisms
- Microorganisms that live together with other organisms, inside or on the surface of their bodies
