Vertical food web interactions [electronic resource] : evolutionary patterns and driving forces / K. Dettner, G. Bauer, W. Völkl, eds.

Vertical food web interactions are strongly influenced by the life history of the partners involved. Typical examples are presented for plant-phytophage and host-parasite systems and for multitrophic interactions, as well as for chemoecological aspects of the interactions.

Description
Summary:Vertical food web interactions are strongly influenced by the life history of the partners involved. Typical examples are presented for plant-phytophage and host-parasite systems and for multitrophic interactions, as well as for chemoecological aspects of the interactions. This volume brings together theoretical and practical aspects of vertical food web interactions and analyses how particular patterns evolved independently on different trophic levels and in different habitats.
