The proposal by Kareiva/Morris seeks to experimentally                     determine how phytophagous insect populations are limited through               changes in plant quality, attack by natural enemies, and                        competition.  Generally, this proposal is well-thought out, well-               designed, and addresses important issues in population and                      community ecology.  Their approach is good since many conceptual                questions in the ecology of phytophagous insects demand                         experimentation, yet few studies have done so.  The research is                 important because it attempts to bridge aspects of three trophic                levels in examining dynamics of herbivore populations, which are                usually only considered piecemeal.  It is important also because                there may be new data provided that will be useful in pest                      controll in agriculture and forestry.                                                Dr. Kareiva enjoys a high regard amongst scientists in this                field and in ecology in general. The University of Washington is                eminently suited to support this work.  The program recommends                  funding.
