Aare Kuusik

**Aare Kuusik** (29. jaanuar 1929 Tartu – 8. mai 2022 Tartu) oli eesti entomoloog.

Ta sündis Elmar (lastekirjanik Elar Kuus, ps. Elmar Ramla) ja Alma Kuusiku (arst) peres teise lapsena.

Oli bioloogiakandidaat aastast 1967 ("The biology of Lepidoptera harmful for pine buds and shoots in Estonia"). Tema sulest ilmus palju teadusartikleid ja uurimusi. Juhendas magistri- ja doktoritöid. Avaldas populaarteaduslikke artikleid ka ajakirjas Eesti Loodus.

Aare Kuusik tegeles putukate eksperimentaalse ökofüsioloogiaga, eriti putukate hingamise ja külmakindluse uurimisega. Ta oli putukate füsioloogia ja biotõrje uurimisvaldkonna rajajaid Eestis. Ta töötas Zooloogia ja Botaanika Instituudis (biotõrje laboratooriumi juhatajana) ja 1992. aastast Eesti Maaülikooli põllumajandus- ja keskkonnainstituudi taimekaitseosakonnas vanemteadurina.
