Know about the book -

Evolutionary Ecology of Plant-Herbivore Interaction is written by Juan Núñez-Farfán and published by Springer Nature. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 3030460126 (ISBN 10) and 9783030460129 (ISBN 13).

Plant-herbivore interactions are a central topic in evolutionary ecology. Historically, their study has been a cornerstone for coevolutionary theory. Starting from classic ecological studies at the phenotypic level, it has since expanded to molecular and genomic approaches. After a historical perspective, the book’s subsequent chapters cover a wide range of topics: from populations to ecosystems; plant- and herbivore-focused studies; in natural and in man-modified ecosystems; and both micro- and macro-evolutionary levels. All chapters include valuable background information and empirical evidence. Given its scope, the book will be of interest to both students and researchers, and will hopefully stimulate further research in this exciting field of evolutionary biology.
