Abstract:

Conversion of time and space is a method used in studying the evolution of plant communities and is also a theory used in the social sciences and geological analysis. It is, however, rarely applied in insect ecology. This paper introduces both space-for time substitution and time-for-space substitution. These two processes can greatly reduce the time of experiments thereby allowing more sampling. They consequently are of great benefit for research on insect migration, outbreak prediction, and landscape scale habitat restoration. Conversion of time and space has a promising future and can be applied widely in insect ecology.
