Specialization, speciation, and radiation : the evolutionary biology of herbivorous insects /

Mostrar otras versiones (2)

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 an...
