About the Book

This volume includes a representative selection of fully refereed papers from the 10th Symposium on Insect-Plant Relations, plus a listing of the titles of all presentations. It includes reviews of major areas within the subject, along with detailed experimental studies. Topics covered include central neural and chemosensory bases of host plant recognition, integrative studies of insect behaviour, tritrophic interactions, plant defences, insect life histories, plant growth responses, microbial partners in insect-plant associations, and genetic bases of host plant associations.

Table of Contents:
Opening address.- Insects and plants: two worlds come together.- Central neural bases of host plant recognition.- Dynamic representation of odours by oscillating neural assemblies.- Chemo-discriminatory neurones in the sub-oesophageal ganglion of Locusta migratoria.- Chemosensory bases of host plant recognition.- Specialist deterrent chemoreceptors enable Pieris caterpillars to discriminate between chemically different deterrents.- Olfactory responses and sensilla morphology of the blackcurrant leaf midge Dasineura tetensi.- Experience-based food consumption by larvae of Pieris rapae: addiction to glucosinolates?.- Role of visual cues and interaction with host odour during the host-finding behaviour of the cabbage moth.- Integrative studies of insect behaviour.- Integrating nutrition: a geometrical approach.- Absence of food-aversion learning by a polyphagous scarab, Popilliajaponica, following intoxication by geranium, Pelargonium × hortorum.- Examining the hierarchy threshold model in a no-choice feeding assay.- Anomalous stylet punctures of phloem sieve elements by aphids.- Acceptability of different species of Brassicaceae as hosts for the cabbage aphid.- Salivation into sieve elements in relation to plant chemistry: the case of the aphid Sitobion fragariae and the wheat Triticum aestivum.- Aphid responses to non-host epiculticular lipids.- Effects of Brassica oleracea waxblooms on predation and attachment by Hippodamia convergens.- Insect behaviour in tritrophic systems.- Are herbivore-induced plant volatiles reliable indicators of herbivore identity to foraging carnivorous arthropods?.- Active defence of herbivorous hosts against parasitism: adult parasitoid mortality risk involved in attacking a concealed stemboring host.- Induction of cotton extrafloral nectarproduction in response to herbivory does not require a herbivore-specific elicitor.- Flowers in tri-trophic systems: mechanisms allowing selective exploitation by insect natural enemies for conservation biological control.- Plant defences.- Wound-induced increases in the glucosinolate content of oilseed rape and their effect on subsequent herbivory by a crucifer specialist.- Pyrrolizidine alkaloid distribution in Senecio jacobaea rosettes minimises losses to generalist feeding.- Insect life histories and plant growth responses.- The population ecology of Amorbus Dallas (Hemiptera: Coreidae) species in Australia.- A galling aphid furnishes its home with a built-in pipeline to the host food supply.- Choosing host plants: mechanism and evolution.- Vive la variance: a functional oviposition theory for insect herbivores.- Microbial partners in insect-plant associations.- The assimilation and allocation of nutrients by symbiotic and aposymbiotic pea aphids, Acyrthosiphon pisum.- How nutritionally imbalanced is phloem sap for aphids?.- Genetic bases of host plant associations.- It’s about time: the evidence for host plant-mediated selection in the apple maggot fly, Rhagoletis pomonella, and its implications for fitness trade-offs in phytophagous insects.- Behavioural correlates of genetic divergence due to host specialization in the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum.- Using hybrid and backcross larvae of Papilio Canadensis and Papilio glaucus to detect induced photochemical resistance in hybrid poplar trees experimentally defoliated by gypsy moths.- Ostrinia spp. in Japan: their host plants and sex pheromones.- Genetic basis for established and novel host plant use in a herbivorous ladybird beetle, Epilachna vigintioctomaculata.- Host-plant choice and larval growth in thecinnabar moth: do pyrrolizidine alkaloids play a role?.- Conclusion.- It’s all in the neurones.- Index of authors.- General index.- Listing of oral and poster presentations from SIP10.- List of registered participants.
