Population Cycles Summary

Population Cycles: The Case for Trophic Interactions by Alan Berryman (Professor of Entomology, Professor of Entomology, Washington State University)

For over sixty years, understanding the causes of multiannual cycles in animal populations has been a central issue in ecology. This book brings together ten of the leaders in this field to examine the major hypotheses and recent evidence in the field, and to establish that trophic interactions are an important factor in driving at least some of the major regular oscillations in animal populations that have long puzzled ecologists.
