Specialization, Speciation, and Radiation: The Evolutionary Biology of Herbivorous Insects

Kelley Tilmon

Abstract

The intimate associations between plants and the insects that eat them have helped define and shape both groups for millions of years. This book provides a 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. The book examines the evolution of populations and species; co- and macroevolutionary radiation; and evol ... More

Keywords: plants, insects, evolution, species, clades, populations, radiation, evolutionary biology, pests
