Timeline of entomology 2384740 218355654 2008-06-10T07:54:26Z 81.144.158.195 Chou ~~~~ {{nolead}} [[Entomology]], the scientific study of [[insect]]s and closely-related terrestrial [[arthropod]]s, has been impelled by the necessity of societies to protect themselves from insect-borne diseases, crop losses to insects, and insect-related discomfort, as well as by people's natural curiosity. This article traces the history of entomology. ==Timelines of entomology== *[[Timeline of entomology - prior to 1800]] *[[Timeline of entomology - 1800-1850]] *[[Timeline of entomology - 1850-1900]] *[[Timeline of entomology - post 1900]] ===History of classification=== Many different classifications were proposed by early entomologists. It is important to realise that whilst many early names survive they are at different levels in the phylogenetic hierarchy . For instance many families were first published as genera. An example is the genus ''Mymar'' proposed by [[Alexander Henry Haliday]] in 1829 is now the family [[Mymaridae]]. == History of Forensic Entomology == Please see the [[ History of Forensic Entomology]] page for more information on this subject ==References== *Mathilde M.
