Pedro Barbosa was born in Guayama, Puerto Rico and raised in
Spanish Harlem, in New York City. He received his B.S. in biology
from the City College of New York and his M.S. and Ph.D. at the
University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Pedro's research interests
are in theoretical and applied ecology of plant-insect interactions
with an emphasis on tri-trophic interactions. He has authored or
coauthored many refereed publications, and written or edited 13
books.

Deborah K. Letourneau's Bachelor's, Master's and doctoral
degrees are from the University of Michigan and University of
California at Berkeley. As Professor of Environmental Studies at
the University of California, Santa Cruz her research concerns
plant-insect interactions, biodiversity, and environmental risk in
the context of decision-making that sustains both livelihoods and
the environment.

Anurag A. Agrawal studies the evolutionary ecology of
plants and insects as a professor at Cornell University's
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and Department of
Entomology. His work spans community ecology, invasive species,
coevolution, and ecological genetics. Please visit his lab website

current projects and research.
