To gain a more complete understanding of plant-based ecological
community structure requires knowledge of the integration of direct
and indirect effects in plant herbivore systems. Trait modification
of plants as a result of herbivory is very common and widespread in
terrestrial plants, and this initiates indirect interactions
between organisms that utilise the same host plant. This book
argues that food webs by themselves are inadequate models for
understanding ecological communities, because they ignore important
indirect, nontrophic links. This subject is of great importance in
understanding not only community organisation but also in
identifying the underlying mechanisms of maintenance of
biodiversity in nature. This book will be an invaluable resource
for researchers and graduate students interested in community and
population ecology, evolutionary biology, biodiversity, botany and
entomology.
