This volume is an outgrowth of a Symposium entitled "Evolution of
Escape in Space and Time" held at the XV International Congress of
Entomology in Washington, D. C., USA in August, 1976. The choice of
topic was prompted by recent advances in evolutionary ecology and
the apparent suitability of insect migration and dia pause as
appropriate material for evolutionary studies. In the event, that
choice seems amply justified as I hope a perusal of these papers
will show. These Sympos ium papers hardly cover the topic of the
evolution of escape mechanisms exhaustively, and I am sure everyone
will have his favorite lacuna. Some of the more obvious ones are
indicated by Professor Southwood in his Concluding Remarks at the
end of the book. The purpose of the Symposium, however, was not
complete coverage, but rather to indicate the potential inherent in
insect migration and diapause for the study of evolutionary
problems. In that I think we have succeeded reasonably well. These
papers are expanded and in some cases somewhat altered versions of
the papers delivered in Washington. This has allowed greater
coverage of the topics in question. I suggested a format of a
general overview of a topic emphasizing the author's own research
con tributions. In general the papers follow this outline although
emphases vary. Two of the authors, Dr. Rainey and Dr. Lumme, were
unable to attend the Symposium. Dr. Rainey's paper was read by Mr.
Frank Walsh, but Dr."
