| Summary |
Tony Dixon analyses long-term population studies and experiments showing that tree dwelling aphids are regulated not by natural enemies but by competition for limited resources. 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. |
