Evolutionary Ecology across Three Trophic Levels: Goldenrods, Gallmakers, and Natural Enemies
Author: Abrahamson, Warren G.; Weis, Arthur E. Description: In a work that will interest researchers in ecology, genetics, botany, entomology, and parasitology, Warren Abrahamson and Arthur Weis present the results of more than twenty-five years of studying plant-insect interactions. Their study centers on the ecology and evolution of interactions among a host plant, the parasitic insect that attacks it, and the suite of insects and birds that are the natural enemies of the parasite. Because this system provides a model that can be subjected to experimental manipulations, it has allowed…
