Intraguild predation, weather, and climate teleconnection patterns interact to determine an insect vital rate

The paper examines how intraguild predation, weather, and climate teleconnections affect the pre-diapause survival rate of the butterfly Euphydryas gillettii using an 18-year dataset.

Analysis of Seasonal and Long-Term Population Dynamics for Modeling Populations at Low Density: Experience with Light Traps

The paper develops three models to analyze seasonal and long-term population dynamics of Dendrolimus superans using light trap data, showing temperature sums, autoregressive patterns, and binary presence-absence relationships can estimate population density and predict outbreaks.
