Cherry trees are common in gardens and countryside, and the rich communities of insects that live on them offer excellent opportunities for research. As cherries become more popular for planting in amenity areas and woodland, it is increasingly important to understand how their insects interact with each other and the host plant.

Dock plants are widely accessible and pleasant to work with, and ecologists can begin to unravel the interactions that link together the species in a representative insect/plant community.

This book introduces the community of insects that make their home on thistles, feeding on the leaves, the flowerheads, the roots, the stems, or each other.

Stinging nettles harbour a characteristic community of insects that are widespread, abundant, and rewarding to study. This book describes the natural history of the insects in that community, and describes the way they coexist using different parts of a stinging nettle plant.
