Specialization, Speciation, and Radiation the Evolutionary Biology of Herbivorous Insects
The intimate associations between plants and the insects that eat them have helped define and shape both groups for millions of years. This pioneering volume is a comprehensive, up-to-date treatment of the evolutionary biology of herbivorous insects, including their relationships with host plants an...
