Some are of particular economic importanceas pests of agriculture and forestry, as vectors of animal and humandisease, or as species of interest to wildlife conservation. Thus anunderstanding of the processes determining their numbers is ofconsiderable practical value. .Entomologists have played a leading role in developing a theoreticalbasis to Population Ecology, but we still do not have adequateexperimental and observational proof for many of the theoretical ideasthat have been proposed. As a result, the subject has been beset witharguments for more than 50 years. This volume attempts to reconcilesome of these controversies, while also reviewing the current state ofour knowledge. The editors have drawn together an international listof contributors whose views reflect a range of opinions on how naturalpopulations are stabilised. They have succeeded in producing a bookthat both covers the main alternative views in population theory andcontains some of the best recent field stud | 出版日期 | Book 1998 | 关键词 | animals; ecology; evolution; forest; insect; insects; parasites; population dynamics; predator | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-011-4914-3 | isbn_softcover | 978-94-010-6060-8 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-011-4914-3 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 1998 |
