ECOLOGY:
Enhanced: Ecogenomics Benefits Community Ecology

Marcel Dicke, Joop J. A. van Loon, Peter W. de Jong

Ecologists are discovering that molecular biologists have lots of fun tools that they can use to dissect ecosystem dynamics and species interactions within communities. In their Perspective, Dicke and colleagues discuss an elegant field study (Kessler et al.) that uses ecogenomics to elucidate the interactions between native tobacco plants and their natural insect predators.
