Why Is Robert Denno Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Robert F. Denno was an influential insect ecologist. He published more than 130 research papers that helped advance the study of plant–insect interactions, interspecific competition, predator prey interactions and food web dynamics. He studied the ecology of sap-feeding insects, both in natural and cultivated settings. His study of wing polymorphism expanded into the fields of life history evolution , plant and herbivore interactions , community ecology , and many aspects of predator ecology, reviewed recently in Denno et al. .
