About the Book

An understanding of the dynamics of populations is critically important to ecologists, evolutionary biologists, wildlife managers, foresters, and many other biologists. This edited treatise brings together the latest research on how populations fluctuate in size, the factors that drive these changes, and the theories explaining how populations are regulated. The book also includes specific chapters dealing with insects of economic importance.

Review :
"Cappuccino and Price have brought together contributions that demonstrate a renaissance of population dynamics studies in the last decade." --Michael W. Palmer, Oklahoma State University, in ECOLOGY "The editors have done an excellent job in assembling authors with fresh ideas and insightful perspectives. The chapters are remarkably good, and the book would be excellent for graduate student seminars, with each chapter providing ample material for discussion." --TRENDS IN ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION
