Evolutionary Ecology of Plant-Herbivore Interaction

Plant—herbivore interactions are a central topic in evolutionary ecology. Historically, their study has been a cornerstone for coevolutionary theory. Starting from classic ecological studies at the phenotypic level, it has since expanded to molecular and genomic approaches. After a historical perspective, the book’s subsequent chapters cover a wide range of topics: from populations to ecosystems; plant— and herbivore—focused studies; in natural and in man—modified ecosystems; and both micro...
