The African armyworm, Spodoptera exempta, as an example.- The impact of water and nutrient stress on oak leaf quality and gypsy moth performance.- Forest insect trends along an acidic deposition gradient in the central United States.- Birch foliage quality and population density of Eriocrania miners in a pollution-affected area.- Performance of Neodiprion sertifer on defoliated scots pine foliage.- Comparative studies of developmental biology, preference and feeding behavior of Monellia caryella on Juglandaceae native to North America.- Host-plant selection by the tropical butterfly Bicyclus anynana.- Interactions between host-plant information and climatic factors on diapause termination of two species of Bruchidae.- Assessing host-plant suitability in caterpillars: is the weight worth the wait?.- Size, feeding ecology and feeding behaviour of newly hatched caterpillars.- Natural defence of pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) against the defoliating insect Euproctis chrysorrhoea.- Estimating costs and benefits of the pyrrolizidine alkaloids of Senecio jacobaea under natural conditions.- Induced chemical defence in Cynoglossum officinale.- Conversion of plant-derived pyrrolizidine alkaloids into insect alkaloids.- Phytoecdysteroids and insect-plant relationships in the Chenopodiaceae.- The non-nutrional relationship of Zonocerus (Orthoptera) to Chromolaena (Asteraceae).- Search behaviour: strategies and outcomes.- Response of the oilseed rape pests, Ceutorhynchus assimilis and Psylliodes chrysocephala, to a mixture of isothiocyanates.- Volatile plant metabolites involved in host-plant recognition by the cabbage seed weevil, Ceutorhynchus assimilis.- The olfactory and behavioural response of seed weevils, Ceutorhynchus assimilis, to oilseed rape volatiles.- Dispersive flight of the cabbage stem weevil.- Responses of the black bean aphid, Aphis fabae, to a non-host plant volatile in laboratory and field.- Aggregation in a flower bud-feeding weevil.- Electroantennogram responses of aphids to plant volatiles and alarm pheromone.- The role of host-plant odour and sex pheromones in mate recognition in the aphid Cryptomyzus.- Comparison of electroantennogram responses by females of the black swallowtail butterfly, Papilio polyxenes, to volatiles from two host-plant species.- Olfactory and visual cues in host-finding in the Burnet moth, Zygaena trifolii.- Specialization of receptor neurons to host odours in the pine weevil, Hylobius abietis.- Plant chemicals involved in honeybee-rapeseed relationships: behavioural, electrophysiological and chemical studies.- Volatiles from soybean foliage detected by means of a TCT-HRGC system: their possible role in insect-plant relationships.- Host-finding by Phoracantha semipunctata: host volatiles, electroantennogram recordings and baited field traps.- Chemical recognition of diverse hosts by Pieris rapae butterflies.- Role of nutrients found in the phylloplane, in the insect host-plant selection for oviposition.- Oviposition stimulant for the cabbage root fly: importan...

  • Water from a Transdisciplinary Perspective
    Ana Isabel Pereira Cardoso / Teresinha M. Gonçalves
    Life in cities has distanced human beings from nature and made it difficult to understand the ecology of life dependent on the environment. Urban water collection and distribution processes contribute significantly to the fragmentation of knowledge and the vital recognition of the water cycle. Without the effective participation of the subject in environmental actions, it is no...

  • Modeling Populations of Adaptive Individuals
    Bret C. Harvey / Steven F. Railsback
    Ecologists now recognize that the dynamics of populations, communities, and ecosystems are strongly affected by adaptive individual behaviors. Yet until now, we have lacked effective and flexible methods for modeling such dynamics. Traditional ecological models become impractical with the inclusion of behavior, and the optimization approaches of behavioral ecology cannot be use...

    Aaron Ellison / Aaron M. Ellison / Nicholas J. Gotelli
    A groundbreaking approach to scale and scaling in ecological theory and practiceScale is one of the most important concepts in ecology, yet researchers often find it difficult to find ecological systems that lend themselves to its study. Scaling in Ecology with a Model System synthesizes nearly three decades of research on the ecology of Sarracenia purpurea-the northern pitcher...

    Deborah E. Goldberg / John H. Vandermeer
    The essential introduction to population ecology-now expanded and fully updatedEcology is capturing the popular imagination like never before, with issues such as climate change, species extinctions, and habitat destruction becoming ever more prominent. At the same time, the science of ecology has advanced dramatically, growing in mathematical and theoretical sophistication. He...

  • Physiological Ecology
    Carlos Martínez del Rio / William H. Karasov
    Unlocking the puzzle of how animals behave and how they interact with their environments is impossible without understanding the physiological processes that determine their use of food resources. But long overdue is a user-friendly introduction to the subject that systematically bridges the gap between physiology and ecology. Ecologists--for whom such knowledge can help clarif...
  • Critical Transitions in Nature and Society
    Marten Scheffer
    How do we explain the remarkably abrupt changes that sometimes occur in nature and society--and can we predict why and when they happen? This book offers a comprehensive introduction to critical transitions in complex systems--the radical changes that happen at tipping points when thresholds are passed. Marten Scheffer accessibly describes the dynamical systems theory behind cr...
