Long‐term population dynamics of western tent caterpillars: History, trends and causes of cycles
The length and in‐depth nature of this population study make it unique. It represents perhaps the most extensive monitoring of viral infection in a wild insect population. We have used laboratory and field experiments to test many hypotheses about mechanisms that potentially impact the dynamics of this cyclic species.

Insect thermal performance can be modulated by temperatures experienced by preceding generations, but it is unclear how these effects may scale up to communities. Using an experimental Drosophila–parasitoid system and simulations, transgenerational effects affecting both trophic levels are shown to have emergent impacts on persistence under rising ...
