Synopsis
Excerpt from A Study in Insect Parasitism: A Consideration of the Parasites of the White-Marked Tussock Moth, With an Account of Their Habits and Interrelations, and With Descriptions of New Species
Many observations are recorded which show the prominent part which parasites take in the reduction of an insect which under favor able conditions has exceeded its normal bounds in respect to numbers. Such constant struggles between species in the apparent effort to pre serve a just balance are met with by every observer in the course of nearly every season's observations. The writer has, however, always desired an opportunity to study the exact details of such a struggle upon a large scale, and this opportunity was afforded in this instance.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores a particular instance in which a dramatic population increase of the white-marked tussock moth was rapidly curbed by the introduction of a non-native bird species, and subsequent role played by parasitic species in achieving this outcome. The author provides specific, in-depth coverage of each species associated with the population reduction, discussing their respective roles and habits. The account not only provides insight into this particular ecological event, but also serves as a case study for broader concepts of ecological balance, species interdependence, and applied population management.
