Ecological biochemistry and its development.
The concept that chemistry and biochemistry may play significant roles in ecological relationships is not a new one. It is only within the last quarter of a century, however, that this concept has gained general acceptance and ecological biochemistry has become a well defined interdisciplinary subject in its own right. Examples are given of different types of biochemical relationships involving plants and animals and reference to other areas of the subject are made.
