ABSTRACT
Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are transforming insect science by enabling precise identification, monitoring, and predictive modeling of insect populations. Advanced architectures such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs) facilitate automated species classification, behavioral analysis, and real-time pest detection using image, acoustic, and environmental data. These approaches enhance early warning systems, optimize integrated pest management (IPM) strategies, and reduce reliance on chemical pesticides. DNN-driven models also support biodiversity assessment, disease-vector surveillance, and climate-adaptive forecasting of pest outbreaks. Despite challenges related to data quality, model interpretability, and computational demands, the integration of artificial intelligence with entomological research offers scalable, cost-effective, and sustainable solutions. This study highlights recent advancements, applications, and future prospects of deep learning technologies in revolutionizing entomology and modern pest management systems.
