Book Description:
This book is designed to introduce students and research workers to insect herbivore-host dynamics using the interaction between aphids and trees as a model. The author challenges the current paradigm that assumes the population dynamics of insect herbivores is heavily influenced by the action of their natural enemies and shows that tree dwelling species of aphids, through competition for resources, regulate their own abundance. Analyses from long-term population censuses and experiments, demonstrate that available resources are the greater influence on the population.
