Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

The book, Estimation and Analysis of Insect Populations, is about estimation of population parameters in stage frequency structured populations and the subsequent use of this information in development of mathematical and computer models. The unique contribution of this work is the extensive, comparative review of statistical methods used in the estimation of stage frequency parameters, the review of modeling techniques, and presentation of new approaches to both parameter estimation and modeling. Thus, this book will be of value in both pedagogic and research applications. This book will be of interest to advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and research scientists in the fields of statistics, entomology, and other areas of applied population ecology. It could well serve as either the primary text or as an important reference in courses involving estimation, analysis, and modeling of stage frequency structured populations. As such, advertisement should be directed toward academic, departments and research laboratories involved in natural resource management (e.g. Fisheries and Wildlife, Entomology, Forestry), or applied mathematics (e.g. Statistics).

Reseña del editor

The papers in this volume were presented at a symposium/workshop on "The Estimation and Analysis of Insect Populations" that was held at the University of Wyoming, Laramie, in January, 1988. The meeting was organized with financial support from the United States - New Zealand Cooperative Science Program and the University of Wyoming. The purpose was to bring together approximately equal numbers of quantitative biologists and biometricians in order to (1) provide a synthesis and evaluation of currently available methods for modeling and estimating parameters of insect population, and to (2) stimulate research into new methods where this is appropriate. The symposium/workshop attracted 46 participants. There were 35 papers presented in four subject areas: analysis of stage-frequency data, modeling of population dynamiCS, analysis of spatial data, and general sampling and estimation methods. New results were presented in all these areas. All except one of the papers is included in the present volume.
