Extract

It cannot be disputed that in any attempt to control populations of useful or harmful insects a knowledge of their ecology is of prime importance. In view of the significance of the various relationships between man and insects it follows that insect ecology should be a vigorous and strongly supported phase of entomology. It is the purpose of this discussion to consider briefly the present status of insect ecology and its relationship to ecology in general, and particularly to call attention to those characteristics of insect life that would seem to justify special treatment of insects from an ecological standpoint.
