Preface
Over the past 40 years the SIP meetings have played a central role in the development of the field of insect-plant
relationships, providing both a show-case for current research as well as a forum for the airing and development
of important new ideas. The 10th symposium followed that tradition. The week 4-10 July 1998 saw an exhila
rating exchange of data and ideas across a wide range of related disciplines, from cutting-edge neuroscience in
the opening session through to phylogenetic analysis of broad-scale patterns of insect-plant co-evolution at the
close. Since the June 1860 meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science (now known as the
'Wilberforce-Huxley debate'), the University Museum of Natural History at Oxford has been host to numerous
formative scientific conferences. Thanks to the efforts of the 163 participants from 25 countries, SIP 10 lived up to
that reputation. It was a pleasure for us to organise the meeting.
The symposium comprised 12 keynote addresses, 60 oral presentations and 71 posters. Only a small proportion
of the papers presented at the symposium are published in full here, however. We have taken one step further a
procedure first adopted in 1978 by Reg Chapman and Liz Bernays for SIP-4, and next used by our predecessors
Erich SHidler, Martine Rahier and Robert Bauer for SIP-9: namely, a selection of full-length papers has been
published as a special issue of Entomologia. All papers have been through the full rigour of the normal peer
review procedure of the journal. Many valuable contributions from the meeting are not present, nor in many
cases were they submitted, but they will no doubt soon be published elsewhere. What does appear in the volume
is representative of the structure of the symposium, and gives an indication of the scope of the meeting. Our
feeling was that a book of fully refereed papers would provide more of a service to the field than the unrefereed
compendium that is more typical of the proceedings volume from a scientific conference. The publisher, Kluwer
Academic, and the Editors of Entomologia concurred fully with that view.
We would like to express our thanks and gratitude to all those who attended the symposium, helped with the
organisation and running of the meeting, submitted papers and refereed manuscripts. In particular we would like to
thank Catherine Hughes and Susannah Barry from Oxford International. Additionally, we owe many thanks to staff
at Kluwer, notably Natasha Bonnevalle, and to Louis Schoonhoven and Steph Menken from the Editorial Board of
Entomologia for their help and advice in the preparation of the volume to a tight schedule.
Finally, we would like to dedicate this volume to Dick Southwood, who missed the meeting due to ill health.
