Insects as a group occupy a middle ground in the biosphere between
bacteria and viruses at one extreme, amphibians and mammals at the
other. The size and general nature of insects present special
problems to the student of entomology. For example, many
commercially available instruments are geared to measure in grams,
while the forces commonly encountered in studying insects are in
the milligram range. Therefore, techniques developed in the study
of insects or in those fields concerned with the control of insect
pests are often unique. Methods for measuring things are common to
all sciences. Advances sometimes depend more on how something was
done than on what was measured; indeed a given field often
progresses from one technique to another as new methods are
discovered, developed, and modified. Just as often, some of these
techniques find their way into the classroom when the problems
involved have been sufficiently ironed out to permit students to
master the manipulations in a few laboratory periods. Many
specialized techniques are confined to one specific research labo
ratory. Although methods may be considered commonplace where they
are used, in another context even the simplest procedures may save
con siderable time. It is the purpose of this series (1) to report
new develop ments in methodology, (2) to reveal sources of groups
who have dealt with and solved particular entomological problems,
and (3) to describe ex periments which might be applicable for use
in biology laboratory courses."
