Life
Agrawal was born in 1972 in Allentown, Pennsylvania .

In 1999, he earned a Ph.D. in population biology from the University of California, Davis . He then became a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Amsterdam . A year later, he became an assistant professor at the University of Toronto in the former department of botany. Since 2004, he has been a professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and Department of Entomology at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York .[ 4] [ 1] Canadian evolutionary biologist Aneil Agrawal.[ 5] [ 6]
Research
His work is focused on the ecology and evolution of plant-insect interactions, including aspects of herbivory, community ecology, phenotypic plasticity, chemical ecology , coevolution, and phylogenetics . His current research includes work on New York state's biodiversity, the ecology of invasive plants, the biology of monarch butterflies , and the evolution of plant defense strategies. In addition to many scientific papers, his recent book Monarchs and Milkweeds has received acclaim from a wide audience, including the National Outdoor Book Award .[ 7] [ 2]
