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.

Pyrrolidonyl and Pyridyl Alkaloids in Lymantria dispar
Abstract The occurrence and metabolism of nicotine and related N-containing compounds in body fluids of the gipsy moth were addressed. Thin layer chromatographic studies clearly showed the simultaneous presence of GABA and 2-pyrrolidone but not of GABamide in the larval haemolymph and osmeterial secretion of Lymantria dispar as well as ...

Climate change is leading to sympatric populations of northern (Glaucomys sabrinus) and southern (Glaucomys volans) flying squirrels; however, we do not know how vital rates like survival are changing following this novel secondary contact. Using mark‐recapture data from sympatric populations, we found nearly identical annual survival rates (0.20 and 0.
