Insect Pests in Tropical Forestry (2nd Edition)

Since the publication of the first edition of this book in 2001, there have been several sig- nificant developments in forestry and forest entomology in the tropics that warranted inclusion in a second edition. One is the emergence of new pest species associated either with the expansion of plant...

Ross Speight, Martin R Tropical Forestry Since the publication of the first edition of this book in 2001, there have been several sig- nificant developments in forestry and forest entomology in the tropics that warranted inclusion in a second edition. One is the emergence of new pest species associated either with the expansion of plantation forestry into new regions or marginal areas, or a gradual adaptation by indigenous species to exotic hosts or the rapid spread of new invasives. The South American carpenterworm, Chilecomadia valdiviana, in Chile, and the South African goat moth, Coryphodema tristis, are examples of emerging indigenous pests associated with the establishment and expansion of exotic Eucalyptus spp. plantations in these coun- tries. The blue gum chalcid, Leptocybe invasa, and the erythrina gall wasp, Quadrastichus erythrinae, are recent examples of the rapid worldwide spread of an invasive insect, similar to that which occurred for the leucaena psyllid, Heteropsylla cubana, in the 1980s and 1990s. The biology, ecology and impact of these, and many additional pest species, are discussed in an expanded Chapter 5. Another development has been the growing awareness of the 'true' global impact of forest invasive species as losses have been better quantified. Damage worldwide has been estimated at several billion US dollars per year, even without taking into account the loss of non-market value, which may well exceed that figure. This has prompted a range of international responses, including the formation of networks and surveillance programmes to provide early warning of incursions of forest invasives and the development of interna- tional standards for phytosanitary measures, such as that for wood packaging material, as discussed in Chapter 9. The global increase in self-help schemes such as plant clinics and field schools is also discussed. A range of new technologies has enhanced the accuracy and efficiency of forest health surveys over the past decade. These include the use of geographic information system-global positioning system interface tools and handheld computers to assist navigation and data collection in the field, and the application of digital, remotely sensed imagery to detect and classify damaged forest canopies. There have also been signifi- cant advances in the use of semiochemicals, including pheromones, for the detection and monitoring of forest pests and for controlling pest populations by means of mass trapping, lure and kill, lure and infect and mating disruption. 2014-04-24T02:28:41Z 2014-04-24T02:28:41Z 2012 Book 978 1 84593 636 5 https://scholar.dlu.edu.vn/thuvienso/handle/DLU123456789/37118 en application/pdf CABI
