Recent research using the tools of modern molecular biology, genetics, metabolomics, microbial ecology, experiments conducted at a global level, network analysis, and statistical analyses of global data sets, combined with basic natural history, are yielding exciting new insights into caterpillar adaptations and ecology. The best way to view these research advances is within a framework of tri-trophic interactions. This is a timely topic for research given the central role of caterpillars and plants in the ecology and trophic structure of terrestrial communities. This book is unique in that it contains chapters from a team of experts on a diversity of key topics within caterpillar-plant interactions. This volume brings together contributions by researchers from around the globe, working in both tropical and temperate habitats,and in human-managed and more natural habitats. It is a significant contribution to our understanding of insect biology, and the role that insects, as represented by caterpillars, play in a world incre | 出版日期 | Book 2022 | 关键词 | Entomology; Lepidoptera; Herbivory; plant defense; biological control; natural enemies; arthropod predator | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-86688-4 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-86690-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-86688-4Series ISSN 2509-6745 Series E-ISSN 2509-6753 | issn_series | 2509-6745 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
