Course on biological control of plants and invasive arthropods

Since 2017, FuEDEI and the Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences (University of Buenos Aires) deliver a postgraduate course on Biological control of plants and invasive arthropods. The course mainly addresses issues regarding the ecology of invasions from a biological control point of view/perspective. During the course, definitions and concepts associated to these topics are analized and delve into the biological control strategies of plants and invasive arthropods, especially of classic biological control. Theoretical principles of the biology of the invasion, population growth and ecological interactions are developed. The course offers theoretical and practical tools to create and participate in programs of biological control of plants and invasive arthropods.
