Abstract
The two other insect datasets used in the analyses in this book (Lucilia, Smith et al., Chapter 7 and Plodia, Begon et al., Chapter 6) are from controlled laboratory experiments. In contrast, the datasets presented and analysed here are from the long-term aphid and moth trap samples of the Rothamsted Insect Survey. Such data in many ways provide the ultimate test of the usefulness of the many methodologies, for they contain extra uncontrolled elements of variability which make analysis more difficult, and these elements exist in most invertebrate field samples. If it is not possible to characterise particular dynamics from such relatively long-term field data from standard samples then perhaps the methods will prove of little practical significance to insect time-series obtained outside controlled laboratory conditions.
