Hardcover. Etat : New. About the Book This book examines individual, population, species, and community responses of herbivores to plant variation, with emphasis on insects, fungi, bacteria, and viruses. It explores the variability as a mechanism of defense used by plants against their parasites and the effects of variability on herbivores at several different levels of complexity. It examines interplant variation, the co-evolutionary problems it poses for herbivores, and the ecological and evolutionary responses of these animals and discusses the effects of host-plant variability on the fitness of sedentary herbivorous insects. This book targets a wide audience of general biologists as well as botanists, ecologists, and zoologists including both teachers and students in gaining a better appreciation of this rapidly growing field.…
