Despite the large impacts of herbivores in managed and natural ecosystems, patterns in insect herbivory are poorly understood because of limited data. This symposium focuses on efforts to investigate insect herbivory using novel and diverse approaches, such as mining biological collections, fossilized herbivory, and global network research.

Attending the meeting in-person? Be sure to check out our live talks taking place Wednesday, November 3 at 1:30 PM in Meeting Room 111-113.
