Complex Population Dynamics : A Theoretical/Empirical Synthesis (MPB-35) /

Why do organisms become extremely abundant one year and then seem to disappear a few years later? Why do population outbreaks in particular species happen more or less regularly in certain locations, but only irregularly (or never at all) in other locations? Complex population dynamics have fascinat...
