Remote sensing of forest pest damage: a review and lessons learned from a Canadian perspective* (2016, background): “…et al. 2003); understanding disturbance dynamics on ecosystem processes at different spatiotemporal scales (Raffa et al. 2008); and testing key hypotheses of forest insect population dynamics, such as the prevalence and origins of synchronised outbreak cycling behaviour (Peltonen et al. 2002).”
Spatial Synchrony in Population Dynamics (2004, methodology): “For example, Peltonen et al. (2002) demonstrated that geographical variation in gypsy moth dynamics can lead to a decrease in synchrony caused by regional stochasticity.”
Sex Pheromones and Their Impact on Pest Management (2010, background): “Such spatio-temporal fluctuations are particularly conspicuous in unmanaged forest insects, which can defoliate entire regions (Peltonen et al. 2002).”
Circumpolar variation in periodicity and synchrony among gypsy moth populations (2005, background): “The analysis of Peltonen et al . (2002) indicated that gypsy moth outbreaks were synchronized over distances up to 600 km. Temperature and precipitation across the gypsy moth’s range in the north-eastern US was synchronized over lag distances up to and greater than 800 km (Peltonen et al . 2002), ”
Recent advances in ecological stoichiometry: insights for population and community ecology (2005, background): “Possible relationships between stoichiometry and population outbreaks could be of particular interest, since insect populations are responsible for considerable damage to forests throughout the world (Peltonen et al. 2002).”
Masting and trophic cascades: interplay between rowan trees, apple fruit moth, and their parasitoid in southern Norway (2004, background): “Geographical variations in dynamics induced by environmental heterogeneity and trophic interactions have been observed in a number of systems such as rodents (Saitoh et al. 1998), spruce budworms (Williams and Liebhold 2000), and Gypsy moth (Peltonen et al. 2002).”
Within-population spatial synchrony in mast seeding of North American oaks (2004, methodology): “Peltonen et al. (2002) studied spatial synchrony in forest insect populations and used linear simulation models to demonstrate that geographical variation in endogenous dynamics caused a dilution of the synchronizing effect of weather.”
Estimating the pattern of synchrony in fluctuating populations (2005, methodology): “One approach (Bjørnstad et al. 1999; Peltonen et al. 2002) is to calculate the correlations (parametric or non-parametric) between (log-) population size or yearly differences for each pair 607 Spatial environmental pattern of locations, using the time span where observations are available for both…”
Plant defenses and population fluctuations of forest defoliators : mechanism-based scenarios (2005, background): “However, although dispersal undoubtedly drives individuals from high density to low density sites, the spread of outbreaks seems to be independent of the dispersal capacity of the defoliator species (Peltonen et al. 2002), casting doubt on the generality of this explanation.”
