ABSTRACT

A general review of insect-plant relationships; some thoughts about learning; the canopy In the previous chapters, I have reviewed the main relationships between insects and plants from the Paleozoic until modem times. There is not much to say about arthropods other than insects, which are the most plentiful of the plant feeders. We have others, such as millipedes, terrestrial Crustacea that are both polyphagous and scavengers. Of course, Birgus latro, the coconut crab, feeds on the endosperm of the coconut, but this is only part of its diet.
