First sentence: A strong tradition in insect population ecology has its roots in the early conceptual and theoretical analyses of population regulation (Nicholson, 1933, 1954; Nicholson and Bailey, 1935; Smith, 1935; Elton, 1949; Lack, 1954) and in the classical experiments of A. J. Nicholson on laboratory populations of blowflies (Nicholson, 1950, 1954, 1958).
