Evolutionary Ecology across Three Trophic Levels : Goldenrods, Gallmakers, and Natural Enemies (MPB-29) /

In a work that will interest researchers in ecology, genetics, botany, entomology, and parasitology, Warren Abrahamson and Arthur Weis present the results of more than twenty-five years of studying plant-insect interactions. Their study centers on the ecology and evolution of interactions among a ho...
