Linhart et al. Selective herbivary afthyme chematypes by a mallusk and a grasshopper<br />
and especially C. Collin, D. Couvet, M. Debussche,<br />
and B. Dommee. Very useful help and advice were<br />
also provided by J. Lamy and the Chambre d'Agri<br />
culture de la Drome. Technical assistance was provided<br />
by L. Bowden, N.B. Linhart, and B. Stojanovic<br />
Meunier. Financial aid was provided by the U.S. Na<br />
tional Science Foundation, and the University of Colo<br />
rado.<br />
