title: [A population and energetic model of an outbreak of forest insects].
abstract: A model of the population dynamics of insects has been developed, which takes into account the food consumption by insects and the reaction of food plants to the damage. Equations have been derived that describe the relationship between the coefficient of insect reproduction, the weight of females, the energetic effectiveness of the food consumption by insects, and the reaction of food plants. The scenarios of population outbreaks have been analyzed as a function of the weight of females in the stable state. The results of modeling have been compared with the data of natural observations.
