Forest insect population dynamics, outbreaks, and global warming effects

Forest insect population dynamics, outbreaks, and global warming effects /

Research in insect population dynamics is important for more reasons than just protecting forest communities. Insect populations are among the main ecological units included in the analysis of stability of ecological systems. Moreover, it is convenient to test new methods of analyzing population and...
