First section looks at effects of plant allelochemicals on predator-prey and host-parasitoid interactions. Second section reveals the role of microorganisms as mediators of interactions between insects and plants. Third section unifies and extends current theory to examine the effects of allelochemicals on the second and third trophic levels. Final section traces the physiological effects of plant allelochemicals in animal behavior, population regulation, maintenance of mimicry systems, and evolution of host range.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK OF THREE-TROPHIC-LEVEL INTERACTIONS.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Allelochemical Interactions among Plants, Herbivores, and TheirPredators (D.
