Scientists use DNA to quickly unravel relationship between plants and insects

It can take years of direct observation for a researcher to fully understand the diets of a community of herbivorous insects in a tropical rain forest. Now, scientists are paving a fast track using the DNA found inside the insects' stomachs, potentially turning years of research into months. This method will help scientists understand the ecology and evolution of plant-herbivore interactions more efficiently.http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/0...
