Recent advances in the integrative nutrition of arthropods.

ABSTRACT

In this review we highlight recent advances in four areas in which nutrition shapes the relationships between organisms between plants and herbivores, between hosts and their microbiota, between individuals within groups and societies, and between species within food webs. We demonstrate that taking an explicitly multidimensional view of nutrition and employing the logic of the geometric framework for nutrition provide novel insights and offer a means of integration across different levels of organization, from individuals to ecosystems.
