Atmospheric Circulation Processes and Insect Ecology1

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  31 May 2012

Extract

There are many papers on the effects of meteorological factors on insects, but only a few state these effects in terms of large-scale weather processes. Even fewer report the logical condusion of such studies: prediction of the biological phenomena with the aid of modern methods of weather analysis and forecasting.
