Summary

"This book brings together authors from different disciplines including evolutionary ecology, entomology, plant and animal ecology, biochemistry, physiology and behavioural ecology. By taking herbivores as the point of focus, it provides a series of comprehensive reviews emphasizing the links between these different fields of interest. The book provides an up-to-date overview of knowledge in the field, and suggests many interesting directions for future research."--Jacket.
