This is a very exciting proposal by Dr. Strong of Florida State University that takes a thorough, rigorous approach in examining the dynamics of planthoppers on cordgrass. If successful, it could provide the best example to date of how a wide variety of factors interact to generate spatial and temporal patterns in insect populations. Most of the biotic and physical factors which Strong is proposing to examine in relation to planthopper population dynamics have been studied previously but they have generally been studied in isolation. While valuable, studies of isolated factors tell us of potential effects, but do not tell us what we need to know--what is their relative importance in relation to other factors in influencing population dynamics and distribution patterns. Based on an impressive background with the planthopper/cordgrass system, Strong has now developed eloquent techniques and identified the major factors regulating planthopper populations. The research outlined in this proposal could only be productively attempted by someone with Strong's experience and previous research support.

这是佛罗里达州的斯特朗博士提出的一个非常令人兴奋的建议 大学采取彻底，严格的方法，在审查 稻飞虱在大米草上的动态 如果成功，它 可以提供迄今为止最好的例子，说明各种各样的 各种因素相互作用， 昆虫种群 大多数生物和物理因素 斯特朗正打算研究与稻飞虱的关系 人口动态以前已经研究过，但它们 一般都是单独研究的。 虽然有价值，研究 孤立的因素告诉我们潜在的影响，但不告诉我们 我们需要知道的是， 与影响人口动态的其他因素的关系， 分布模式 基于一个令人印象深刻的背景， 稻飞虱/灯心草系统，斯特朗现在已经开发出 雄辩的技术，并确定了主要因素调节 稻飞虱种群 该提案中概述的研究 只有具有斯特朗氏症的人才能有效地尝试 经验和以往的研究支持。
