Information for Students Many sections of the BSC web site include information that is useful for students. For example, an overview of Canada’s insect fauna is available (Canada’s insect fauna), the Survey’s Publications include substantial amounts of both general and scientific information about the fauna, and an online database of entomologists allows searches for others who might be interested in a given thesis topic. Of particular interest too are the BSC scholarship, providing a grant of $1000 as well as scientific recognition in support of students of arthropod biodiversity, and information on Sources of funding for work by graduate students on arthropod biodiversity. This latter document provides information on some of the available funding sources for graduate study and research in biodiversity, with special reference to terrestrial arthropods. Advice on preparing applications is also given. Please see Information for Students or Renseignements à l’intention des étudiants for links to the above. A general account of the nature of the Canadian insect fauna and of entomology in Canada was prepared by the Survey as a booklet entitled “Insects of Canada”, distributed at the International Congress of Entomology held in Vancouver in 1988. The full text of that booklet can be found at http://www.biology.ualberta.ca/bsc/briefs/brinsectsofcane.htm (English version) or http://www.biology.ualberta.ca/bsc/briefs/brinsectsofcanf.htm (French version). Limited numbers of paper copies of this brief are available upon request. The web site of the Canadian Museum of Nature carries the Survey’s account of the Canadian insect fauna in a less technical abridged version. See http://nature.ca/research/bscta_e/index.html (English) or http://www.nature.ca/research/bscta_f/index.html (French).
