Roberta Berenbaum is an American entomologist whose work investigates the complex chemical dialogues between herbivorous insects and the plants they consume. Her research examines the profound impact these interactions have on structuring natural communities and driving evolutionary processes. She elucidates the fundamental biochemical mechanisms that govern these vital ecological relationships.
