The
entomology and plant pathology faculty, staff and graduate
students are primarily housed in Funchess Hall, Extension
Hall, and the Life Sciences Building. These buildings provide
space for offices, research and teaching laboratories, the
entomology musuem, the Biological Control Institute, insect
rearing rooms, photographic darkroom and computer facilities.
Other on-campus research
facilities include greenhouses, an insectary, the Plant Diagnostic
Lab, the Pesticide Research Facility, the Imported Fire Ant
Laboratory, the Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Laboratory, Mycology Laboratory, Fescue Diagnostic Laboratory
, electron microscopy laboratories, the Nuclear Science Center,
USDA Regional Parasite Research Laboratory, and the University
Library.
Research on insects &
diseases affecting crops and animal production receives support
at 15 Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station substations
located in a diversity of habitats throughout the state. Research
in tropical environments is possible through Auburn University's
faculty and student exchange agreements with universities
in Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Honduras. Auburn University
is also a member of the Organization for Tropical Studies
(OTS) and thus offers students the opportunity to participate
in activities of that organization.
