Descriere

One of the world's most insightful writers on the subject brings together an array of important information on the ways in which insects and plants coexist in nature. Interrelationship Between Insects and Plants is a rare and expansive look at the intertwining of these two vastly different species. Its aim is to summarize the basis of food selection among insects, and to review the various sides of their relationships with plants. It covers a broad range of topics, discussing special plant adaptations and plant "behavior" in response to insects and the paradigm of coevolution between insects and plants. It also includes a glossary of terminology.
