Rothman -- Impact of life-history evolution on population dynamics : predicting the presence of maternal effects / MaryCarol Rossiter -- Long-term population dynamics of a seed-feeding insect in a landscape perspective / Christer Solbreck -- Adaptive behavior produces stability in herbivorous lady beetle populations / Takayuki Ohgushi -- Working toward theory on galling sawfly population dynamics / Peter W. Price, Timothy P. Craig and Heikki Roininen -- Host suitability, predation, and bark beetle population dynamics / John D. Reeve, Peter L. Lorio, Jr. and Matthew P. Ayres -- The dominance of different regulating factors for rangeland grasshoppers / Gary E. Belovsky and Anthony Joern -- Novelty and synthesis in the development of population dynamics / Peter W. Price and Mark D. Hunter. An understanding of the dynamics of populations is critically important to ecologists, evolutionary biologists, wildlife managers, foresters, and many other biologists. This edited treatise will bring together the latest research on how populations fluctuate in size, the factors that drive these changes, and the theories that explain how populations are regulated. Specific chapters dealing with insects of special economic importance are included.
