About this book
Entomologists have played a leading role in developing a theoretical basis to Population Ecology, but we still do not have adequate experimental and observational proof for many of the theoretical ideas that have been proposed. As a result, the subject has been beset with arguments for more than 50 years. This volume attempts to reconcile some of these controversies, while also reviewing the current state of our knowledge. The editors have drawn together an international list of contributors whose views reflect a range of opinions on how natural populations are stabilised. They have succeeded in producing a book that both covers the main alternative views in population theory and contains some of the best recent field studies of insect populations.
This Royal Entomological Society Symposium volume will be of great interest to all entomologists and ecologists, particularly those who wish to know more about Population Dynamics.
Reviews
European Journal of Entomology, 97 (2000)
`This uge package of knowledge must surely be read throughly more than once in order to digest everything. On the other hand, every reader can pick the articles that they find most interesting. I can warmly recommend the book as a basic textbook for university students as well as to professors and other lectures and all scientists dealing with these topics.'
