Popis:	The coevolutionary association between plants of the family Cucurbitaceae and beetles of the tribe Luperini (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae; Galerucinae) is mediated to a large extent by chemicals of the host plants. The kairomones involved in host selction by the rootworm beetles are the oxygenated tetracyclic triterpenoid cucurbitacins that act as arrestants and feeding stimulants and a number of volatile cyclic plant blossom components that act as long-range orientation cues. The complex ecological and evolutionary factors regulating the chemical ecology of host-plant selection are discussed.
