Extract

Organizers of this year's conference chose a surprising theme — the economics of entomological effort. It is surprising because, to many professional entomologists, economics is a foreign and little-understood subject area that has limited applicability to their work. There have been few examples of entomological effort that involved the working together of professionals from both disciplines.
