Based on graph theory studies this book seeks to understand how
tropical species interact with each other and how these
interactions are affected by perturbations in some of the most
species-rich habitats on earth. Due to the great diversity of
species and interactions in the tropics, this book addresses a wide
range of current and future issues with empirical examples and
complete revisions on different types of ecological networks: from
mutualisms to antagonisms. The goal of this publication is not to
be only for researchers but also for undergraduates in different
areas of knowledge, and also to serve as a reference text for
graduate-level courses mainly in the life sciences.

Ants are probably the most dominant insect group on Earth,
representing ten to fifteen percent of animal biomass in
terrestrial ecosystems. Flowering plants, meanwhile, owe their
evolutionary success to an array of interspecific
interactions--such as pollination, seed dispersal, and
herbivory--that have helped to shape their great diversity. "The
Ecology and Evolution of Ant-Plant Interactions" brings together
findings from the scientific literature on the coevolution of ants
and plants to provide a better understanding of the unparalleled
success of these two remarkable groups, of interspecific
interactions in general, and ultimately of terrestrial biological
communities.
"The Ecology and Evolution of Ant-Plant Interactions" synthesizes
the dynamics of ant-plant interactions, including the sources of
variation in their outcomes. Victor Rico-Gray and Paulo S. Oliveira
capture both the emerging appreciation of the importance of these
interactions within ecosystems and the developing approaches that
place studies of these interactions into a broader ecological and
evolutionary context. The collaboration of two internationally
renowned scientists, "The Ecology and Evolution of Ant-Plant
Interactions" will become a standard reference for understanding
the complex interactions between these two taxa.
