Produktbeschreibung
This textbook provides the first overview of plant-animal interactions for twenty years focused on the needs of students and professors. It discusses a range of topics from the basic structures of plant-animal interactions to their evolutionary implications in producing and maintaining biodiversity. It also highlights innovative aspects of plant-animal interactions that can represent highly productive research avenues, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in a future career in ecology. Written by leading experts, and employing a variety of didactic tools, the book is useful for students and teachers involved in advanced undergraduate and graduate courses addressing areas such as herbivory, trophic relationships, plant defense, pollination and biodiversity.

Rezensionen
"The volume feels generous with respect to ideas and areas for new research, which is a good thing ... . I would also predict that anyone interested in plant-animal interactions would find something useful here." (Matthew L. Forister, The Quarterly Review of Biology, Vol. 99 (2), March, 2024)
