Software, by Entomological Subdiscipline
Biology, Ecology and Behavior
- 3-D Insects - Virtual models of insects using the virtual reality modeling language.
Apiculture (Beekeeping) and Social Insects
- Bug Tutorials - Authorized for pesticide applicator training CEUs in Arizona, Florida, Vermont and West Virginia. Excellent for training in many categories. Requires Windows operating system.
- SwisTrack - A Tracking Tool for Multi-unit Biological and Artificial Systems - SwisTrack is an open source tracking tool for tracking multiple, marker less objects. SwisTrack has been successfully used for tracking cockroaches and miniature robots, and can easily be extended due to its open, object-oriented architecture.
