Recenzii
"It is likely that anyone interested in the issues of population limitation and regulation of herbivore community assemblage in terrestial systems will find 'meat for thought' here." --ECOLOGY
"This book would serve as an excellent basis for a graduate-level course in plant-animal interactions...Most authors have made synthetic arguments and presented new hypotheses. Because of this effort, most of the chapters retain a freshness that engage the reader's interest and stimulates further discussion." --TREE
