The theoretical basis of my research project is plant-insect interaction theory (Stamp, N. E. 1996). Because of the complexity of plant-insect interactions, this theoretical underpinning is still being revised. My research also touches on topics of community structure, trophic levels, and the empirical evidence that plant species diversity correlates with insect species diversity.
Keywords: species richness, plant diversity, invertebrate diversity
