Abstract
AbstractThe study of the spatial dynamics of forest insects has a long history, and many forest insect species have served as model systems for studying conceptual processes of population biology and ecology. Because forest insect population data were often collected from georeferenced locations, even prior to the development of geodatabases and spatial statistical software, they provide an important historical resource for understanding insect population dynamics and changes in those dynamics through time. Advances in spatial statistics have furthermore enabled forest entomologists to consider forest insect dynamics over multiple spatial and temporal scales, and vast spatial and temporal extents. In this chapter, we first introduce the importance of scaling in studies of spatial dynamics, and review spatial pattern formation in forest insect populations. We conclude the chapter by addressing metapopulation dynamics, and the concept of spatial synchrony in outbreaking forest insects.
