Effects of temporal variation in temperature and density dependence on insect population dynamics

Effects of temporal variation in temperature and density dependence on insect population dynamics

Abstract Understanding the effects of environmental variation on insect populations is important in light of predictions about increasing climatic variability. This paper uses the univoltine western corn rootworm (WCR, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte) as a case study and employs deterministic...
