Notes

The major objectives of the present study are to analyze (a) the composition and relative population sizes of the larger invertebrate fauna of relatively undisturbed, near-virgin, stands of deciduous forest, (b) how the population size of each taxon fluctuates throughout the year, (c) how populations vary from year to year, and (d) how these fluctuations correlate with weather conditions. An attempt is made to show the relative importance of different weather variables and to provide equations for predicting population size when prevailing weather conditions are known.
