Insect herbivore communities colonising the flower-heads of Berkheya in South Africa and Carduoideae in Europe and California

Bibliography: leaves 231-233. / One of the main purposes of this study was to determine whether general conclusions can be made about the association of insect herbivores with Berkheya and thistles and whether there are any 'rules' that have influenced the evolution of these associations. It is shown repeatedly that there are significant and interesting correlations between characteristics of the plants and their herbivore communities, but these are not universal.
