▪ Abstract Herbivore offense describes traits that allow herbivores to increase their feeding
and other uses of host plants when these uses benefit the herbivores. We argue that …

Host-parasitoid interactions are abundant in nature and offer great scope for the study of
coevolution. A particularly fertile area is the interaction between internal feeding parasitoids …

Floral traits are hypothesized to evolve primarily in response to selection by pollinators.
However, selection can also be mediated by other environmental factors. To understand the …

We compiled life tables for 78 holometabolous herbivorous insect species to quantify levels
of apparent enemy‐induced mortality of immature insects. Enemies were classified by type …

In the breeding system of Pacific salmon, females compete for oviposition territories, and
males compete to fertilize eggs. The natural selection in females and sexual selection in …

Examines evidence for the slow-growth, high-mortality hypothesis explaining plants'
herbivory defense traits by assessing previously published literature where the level of …

Although the ecological and evolutionary impacts of species interactions have been the foci
of much research, the relationship between the strength of species interactions and the …

▪ Abstract About 300 species of thrips belonging to 57 genera are known to form galls. Galls
are caused by feeding, usually by one or more adults, on actively growing plant tissue. Most …

Although many selection estimates have been published, the environmental factors that
cause selection to vary in space and time have rarely been identified. One way to identify …

Explanations of floral adaptation to diverse pollinator faunas have often invoked visitor‐
mediated trade‐offs in which no intermediate, generalized floral phenotype is optimal for …
