• Plant defenses and population fluctuations of forest defoliators : mechanism-based scenarios (2005, background): “In E. autumnata, for instance, there is a significant tendency for new peak densities to be observed 3–4 years after sunspot minima (Ruohomäki et al. 2000: fig.”

• Effects of host shading on consumption and growth of the geometrid Epirrita autumnata: interactive roles of water, primary and secondary compounds (2003, background): “The autumnal moth is a univoltine, polyphagous geometrid whose populations reach outbreak densities in NW Europe every nine or ten years (Tenow 1972, Haukioja et al. 1988, Bylund 1995, Ruohomäki et al. 1997, 2000).”
• Natural host‐plant quality affects immune defence of an insect herbivore (2007, background): “This study also makes it possible to evaluate possible tritrophic interactions, consisting of a plant, an insect herbivore, and a natural enemy assemblage within a system showing cyclic population dynamics (Ruohomäki et al., 2000).”
• Rapid northwards expansion of a forest insect pest attributed to spring phenology matching with sub‐Arctic birch (2011, background): “The 10-year outbreak cycles of the two native species are believed to be governed by trophic feedbacks between moth, its host plants and/or natural enemies (Tenow, 1972; Ruohomäki et al., 2000; Klemola et al., 2002; Tanhuanpää et al., 2002).”
• Direct and indirect effects in host-parasitoid interactions: ecological and evolutionary consequences (2001, background): “autumnata is a medium-sized holarctic lepidopteran known for its tendency to achieve outbreak levels of abundance in northern and mountainous Fennoscandia (Tenow, 1972; Haukioja et al., 1988; Ruohomäki et al., 2000).”
