WAN G ChenZhu , QIN JunDe ( State Key L aboratory of Integrated M anagement of Pest Insects and Rodents , Institute of Zoology , Chinese Academy of Sciences , Beijing 　100080 , China) Abstract 　In the field of insectplant interactions , the theory of coevolution proposed by Ehrlich and Raven in 1964 and the theory of sequential evolution by J ermy in 1976 have stimulated many studies over recent decades. Concerning the two theories , several major questions are brought forward : ( 1) How insect herbivores select host plants ? (2) Do secondary compounds protect plants from attacking of insect herbivores ? ( 3) Do insect herbivores adapt to plant chemical defenses ? ( 4 ) What pattern is the evolution of host range in insect herbivores , specialization or generalization ? Focused on the above questions , the results in the studies of tritrophic interactions concerning Helicoverp a species were discussed. Based on the coevolution and sequential evolution theories and the considerable advances made in tritrophic interactions recently , a new hypothesis called multitrophic coevolution is proposed. The multitropic coevolution hypothesis accepts that plant secondary compounds play an important role in chemical defense
