This study demonstrates that host plant identifications at the species-level using DNA barcodes are feasible, cost-effective, and reliable, and that reconstructing plant-herbivore networks with these methods will become the standard for a detailed understanding of these interactions.

How CTmax varies among species and populations of a group of diverse tropical insect herbivores, the rolled-leaf beetles, across both broad and narrow elevational gradients is explored and suggests that the risk of extinction of insects may be substantial under some projected rates of global warming.

Stereotyped feeding damage attributable solely to rolled-leaf hispine beetles is documented on latest Cretaceous and early Eocene ginger leaves from North Dakota and Wyoming, suggesting that these relatively derived members of the hyperdiverse leaf-beetle clade evolved at least 20 million years earlier than suggested by insect body fossils.
