S.  aBioclimatic studies with insects.h[electronic resource]  c1959  aWeather and climate are commonly accepted by entomologists as dominant influences on the behavior, abundance, and distribution of insects. the literature on the subject of climate and insects is extraordinarily voluminous, as may be seen by perusal of most texts on animal ecology, a recent example being the large volume by Andrewartha & Birch (7). Specific phases of this field, such as the influence of climate and weather on behavior and on outbreaks of pest insects have been reviewed recently by Graham (52) and Wellington (194). With the increasing use of the ecological approach in insect zoogeograph (Hessy et al.(64)); Gressit it is appropriaet to consider now the relationshipand distribuiton of insects, a major field of insect bioclimatics.  aentomology  aClima  aEntomologia  aPopulação  aEstudo  aEstudos bioclimaticos  aInsect  aInsetos  tAnnual Review of Entomology, Palo Altogv. 4, p. 183-206, 1959.
