Phenotypic plasticity theory may very well change the way biologists in a wide variety of discipline think and approach their research. In this collection of eight leading-edge papers, contributors describe their work in such topics as phenotypic plasticity in host selection on adult Tiger Swallowtail butterflies, plasticity in insect responses to the variable chemistry of host plants, behavioral determinants of Thysanoptera structural diversity, behavioral diversity and its apportionment in a primitively eusocial wasp, clutch size plasticity in the Lepidoptera, the importance of phenotypic plasticity in herbivorous insect specialization, and adaptive allometric responses to galling insects to the availability of oviposting sites.
