First sentence: The study of population dynamics is an old discipline with roots that antedate the modern science of ecology.
Description: 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.
