Description
This book focuses on the behaviour of host plant selection by plant-feeding insects. It describes the patterns of host use, the chemical features of plants that determine host selection, the physiology of insect sensory systems, and the insect behaviours, with an emphasis on mechanisms. The book also discusses genetic variability and the effects of experience, and it concludes with a review of the evolution of host plant ranges. This book is for everyone interested in plant-feeding insects, and should serve as a reference for undergraduates, graduate students, research scientists and agriculturists.
