Insect-Plant Interactions (1990): Volume III

by Elizabeth A. Bernays (Editor)

Overview

Insect-Plant Interactions is a series devoted to reviews across the breadth of the topic from cellular mechanisms to ecology and evolution. Articles are selected from areas of particular current interest or subjects that would especially benefit from a new review. It is hoped that the interdisciplinary selection in each volume will help readers to enter new fields of insect-plant interactions.

Volume III contains six contrasting articles.
