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 and natural
enemies. Chapters focus on the dynamic relationships between insects and plants
from the standpoint of evolutionary change at different levels of biological
organization--individuals, populations, species, and clades. Written by
prominent evolutionary biologists, entomologists, and ecologists, the chapters
are organized into three sections: Evolution of Populations and Species; Co- and
Macroevolutionary Radiation; and Evolutionary Aspects of Pests, Invasive
Species, and the Environment. The volume is
