Ecological biochemistry concerns the biochemistry of interactions
between animals, plants and the environment, and includes such
diverse subjects as plant adaptations to soil pollutants and the
effects of plant toxins on herbivores. The intriguing dependence of
the Monarch butterfly on its host plants is chosen as an example of
plant-animal coevolution in action.
The ability to isolate trace amounts of a substance from plant
tissues has led to a wealth of new research, and the fourth edition
of this well-known text has consequently been extensively revised.
New sections have been provided on the cost of chemical defence and
on the release of predator-attracting volatiles from plants. New
information has been included on cyanogenesis, the protective role
of tannins in plants and the phenomenon of induced defence in plant
leaves following herbivory.
Advanced level students and research workers aloke will find much
of value in this comprehensive text, written by an acknowledged
expert on this fascinating subject.
