Modelling insect populations in agricultural landscapes / Rafael A. Moral, Wesley A.C. Godoy, editors.

This book combines chapters emphasising mathematical, statistical, and computational modelling applied to insect populations, particularly pests or natural enemies in agricultural landscapes. There is a gap between agricultural pest experimentation and ecological theory, which requires a connection...
