Abstract
The roles of plant and insect cuticular lipids in insect and plant interactions are reviewed. Emphasis is given to the influence that the host plant and the surface lipids of the host plant have upon insect herbivores and the predators and parasitoids of these herbivores. Variations in cuticular lipids of herbivorous insects are dependent upon the host plant, and these variations may affect the behavior of predators and parasitoids. The cuticular lipids of species which interact on multiple trophic levels are compared. Similarities were found between the hydrocarbons of herbivorous insects, their host plants, and their predators or parasitoids.Keywords
