Population synchrony within and among Lepidoptera species in relation to weather, phylogeny, and larval phenology Export

The population dynamics of native herbivore species in central Appalachian deciduous forests were studied by analysing patterns of synchrony among intra- and interspecific populations and weather. 2.
