1. Laboratory populations of the Indian meal moth [Plodia interpunctella
(Hübner)(Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)], undergo sustained periodic fluctuations in abundance …

1. Theoretical studies suggest that disease may play an important role in the population
dynamics of insects, but there have been no long-term empirical studies that have examined …

1. Populations of stored-products moths such as the Indian meal moth (Plodia interpunctella)
frequently show generation cycles, fluctuations with a period of approximately one …

1. Many species of forest Lepidoptera have cyclic population dynamics. Although there are
numerous potential causes, including interactions with predators, parasitoids, pathogens …

Populations of the Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella, were maintained in the
laboratory in the presence of 2 pathogens, P. interpunctella Granulosis Virus (PiGV) and …

The forest insect pest Bupalus piniarius (pine looper moth) is a classic example of a natural
population cycle. As is typical for populations that exhibit regular oscillations in density, there …

Qualitative patterns relating species' local population dynamics, body size, regional
distribution and feeding specificity have been documented for a variety of taxa. However …

A simple population model is used to test the hypothesis that Douglas-fir tussock moth
population cycles are caused by time-delays in the responses of density-dependent …

Summary 1 The abundance and fecundity‐related body size variation of the cyclic autumnal
moth Epirrita autumnata were monitored from the early increase phase and throughout the …

1. The population dynamics of two moth species, Plodia interpunctella (Hubner) and
