Abstract

Entomological monitoring is part of a total ecological monitoring system. Its purpose is the identification, prognosis, and estimation of forest ecosystem impacts induced by insects. The entomological monitoring of a forest is based on a clear understanding of the role played by insects in forest ecosystems. The patterns of insect population dynamics in space and time have to be discovered. Mathematical models can be used to make a prognosis and determine the components and parameters of a given system.
