Using Population-Level Variation in Herbivore Traits as an Analytical Tool

4 Using Population-Level Variation in Herbivore Traits as an Analytical Tool 

A powerful approach to elucidating the ecology and evolution of any phenotypic trait can come from an explicit manipulation of genetic differences in the trait among populations of a single species, a research focus of evolutionary ecologists
