The increases in atmospheric concentrations of CO2 (pCO2), that are associated with climate change, cause decreases in the nutritional value of plants to the herbivorous insects that feed upon them1, 2.In turn, these changes in plant quality are a key determinant in the reproduction and survival of herbivorous insects at both the individual and the population scale. By investigating past periods of global warming with high atmospheric pCO2 over long timescales we can increase our understanding of the nature and scale of potential future changes in insect-plant interactions.

与气候变化相关的大气CO2浓度（pCO2）的增加，导致植物对以其为食的植食性昆虫的营养价值降低1，2。反过来，植物质量的这些变化是植食性昆虫在个体和种群规模上繁殖和生存的关键决定因素。通过调查过去的全球变暖与高大气pCO2在很长的时间尺度，我们可以增加我们的理解的性质和规模的潜在的未来变化昆虫-植物相互作用。
