Specialization, Speciation, and Radiation

"The intimate associations between plants and the insects that eat them have helped define and shape both groups for millions of years. This volume is a treatment of the evolutionary biology of herbivorous insects, including their relationships with host plants and natural enemies. Its chapters focus on the dynamic relationships between insects and plants from the standpoint of evolutionary change at different levels of biological organization The volume is unified by the idea that understanding the ecological framework of the interactions between herbivorous insects and their host plants is fundamental to understanding their evolution."--Jacket.
