The abundance of insects can change dramatically from generation to
generation; these generational changes may occur within a growing
season or over a period of years. Such extraordinary density
changes or "outbreaks" may be abrupt and ostensibly random, or
population peaks may occur in a more or less cyclic fashion. They
can be hugely destructive when the insect is a crop pest or carries
diseases of humans, farm animals, or wildlife. Knowledge of these
types of population dynamics and computer models that may help
predict when they occur are very important.
This important new book revisits a subject not thoroughly
discussed in such a publication since 1988 and brings an
international scale to the issue of insect outbreaks.
"Insect Outbreaks Revisited" is intended for senior
undergraduate and graduate students in ecology, population biology
and entomology, as well as government and industry scientists doing
research on pests, land managers, pest management personnel,
extension personnel, conservation biologists and ecologists, and
state, county and district foresters.
