title: Bioassay techniques : An ecological perspective.
abstract: Research in plant-herbivore interactions relies heavily on bioassays as analytical tools. Successful bioassay experiments are difficult to design because of the need to reconcile the exacting requirements of hypothesis testing with the dynamic nature of the plant and insect test organisms. Several research protocols are discussed that utilize ecologically flawed techniques to answer ecologically important questions.
