Resumen
Estudiamos la base química que moldea y da forma a los distintos tipos de interacciones ente insectos y entre plantas e insectos y que puede determinar la estructura de las comunidades. Buscamos usar esta información para el manejo de plagas.
Abstract
We study the chemical basis that shape insect -insect and insect- plant interactions and can determine the structure of an entire community. We pursue using this information for pest management.
