Abstract

The simplest model of plant-insect interactions available in the literature is used to discuss periodicity and synchrony of insect outbreaks in forests. The novelty of the paper is that we present through various formulas and a circular graph a comprehensive theory and show that many, if not all, properties of insect outbreaks pointed out in the past by looking at specific data sets could have been predicted from our theory. In line with the tradition of classical ecology all results are derived without resorting to computer simulation.
