Book Description
FROM THE PREFACE: The abundance of insects can change dramatically from generation to generation; these generational changes may occur within a growing season or over a period of years. Such extraordinary density changes or "outbreaks" may be abrupt and ostensibly random, or population peaks may occur in a more or less cyclic fashion....The goal of this book is to update and advance current thinking on the phenomenon of insect outbreaks. The contributors have reviewed relevant literature in order to generate a synthesis providing new concepts and important alternatives for future research. More importantly, they have presented new ideas or syntheses that will stimulate advances in thinking and experimentation.

Book Description
The development of specialised feeding habits during the course of time by human beings is paralleled in the majority of animals, in particular have developed special peculiarities, and insect larvae which in most cases are quite characteristic of the species concerned. This applies especially to phytophagous insect larvae, and anyone with the requisite experience can say with a fair degree of certainty which insect larva is responsible for any damage to be found on a plant. It leaves behind a definite "feeding pattern" which might be compared to a "visiting card" on which the genus and species are marked in runic characters. Whoever has learned to read the runes can readily determine who has been feeding on the affected spot, solely on the basic of the "visiting card" left behind. From the known factors - the name of the plant and the type of feeding patter- and after some study of the various types of plant infestation, both the genus and species of the larva producing the feeding pattern can be worked out without difficulty. The importance of "feeding pattern investigation" has now far outstripped the successes to be obtained by normal collecting. Previously, when wishing to list the species of insects present in any given locality they were caught with the net, by sugaring and other methods. This always resulted in a very defective "list" of the insects in fact existing in the locality concerned.

Book Description
Excerpt from Leaf-Mining Insects Something should be said in explanation of the part that has been taken by each of the authors in the preparation of this book. It was begun under my direction by Miss Hughes, now Mrs. John D. Tothill, when she was a graduate student in my laboratory at Cornell University. It was continued by her subsequently in Illinois, Wisconsin, British Columbia, and especially at Frederickton, New Brunswick. Meanwhile, Dr. Frost had begun the study of leaf-miners at Cornell University under the direction of Dr. R. Matheson. When Mrs. Tothill was preparing to go with her husband on an important scientific mission to the Fiji Islands (where she has been during the final putting together of this book) she appealed to me to find some means of completing it. I, naturally, turned to Dr. Frost, and we agreed to complete it together. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
