Download or read book Insects Harmful to Forest Trees written by Rene Martineau and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The insects presented in this book are among the most common and the most destructive found on what are considered to be the most important tree species; namely, spruce, larch, pine, oak, maple and poplar.It is intended for use by both scientists and by practising foresters. To make the information contained in this volume more easily accessible, insects are grouped according to the tree species that they attack rather than by their entomological classification, and, for this reason, insects found on a given tree species are presented in the same chapter. The annual reports of the Forest Insect and Disease Survey have provided most of the information on history of outbreaks that is found in the text.

Download or read book Forest Entomology written by William Ciesla and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-03-08 with total page 694 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insects are the most abundant and diverse organisms that inhabit our planet and are found in all the world’s forest ecosystems. Many feed and/or breed on parts of trees. Some perform important functions, such as pollination or break-down of dead vegetation. Others weaken, deform or kill trees, and compete with humans for the many goods and services that trees and forests provide. Forest Entomology: A Global Perspective examines forest insects in a global context and reviews their dynamics, interactions with humans and methods for monitoring and management of species that damage forests. Also provided are 235 profiles of forest insects, worldwide. A series of tables provides summaries of the distribution and hosts of many more species. Included are those that damage forests, others that are simply curiosities and some that are beneficial. This book is designed as a reference for students, practicing foresters and forest health specialists, especially for those who work internationally or are concerned with species that have the potential to expand their ranges via international trade, travel or environmental changes.

This book was released on 2007-05-24 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demand for timber and fibre continues to grow and is being met by increased reliance on plantation forestry. Many of the plantations that are being grown around the globe are non-native species that have characteristics of rapid growth and good commercial qualities. In some cases, the high rates of production are a result of the absence of native herbivore and diseases. This limited pest status is threatened as pest species move around the globe. At the same time there is concern about threats of these non-native plantation species on native communities and the impact of changing climates on forest productivity. This volume explores many of these issues for the first time.

Book excerpt: Bark Beetles: Biology and Ecology of Native and Invasive Species provides a thorough discussion of these economically important pests of coniferous and broadleaf trees and their importance in agriculture. It is the first book in the market solely dedicated to this important group of insects, and contains 15 chapters on natural history and ecology, morphology, taxonomy and phylogenetics, evolution and diversity, population dynamics, resistance, symbiotic associations, natural enemies, climate change, management strategies, economics, and politics, with some chapters exclusively devoted to some of the most economically important bark beetle genera, including Dendroctonus, Ips, Tomicus, Hypothenemus, and Scolytus. This text is ideal for entomology and forestry courses, and is aimed at scientists, faculty members, forest managers, practitioners of biological control of insect pests, mycologists interested in bark beetle-fungal associations, and students in the disciplines of entomology, ecology, and forestry. Provides the only synthesis of the literature on bark beetles Features chapters exclusively devoted to some of the most economically important bark beetle genera, such as Dendroctonus, Ips, Tomicus, Hypothenemus, and Scolytus Includes copious color illustrations and photographs that further enhance the content
Download or read book Bark and Wood Boring Insects in Living Trees in Europe a Synthesis written by François Lieutier and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-08-24 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time, a synthesis on the research work done in Europe on all Bark And Wood Boring Insects In Living Trees (BAWBILT) is presented. As final product of a four-year research project gathering together 100 scientists from 24 countries, the book is the fruit of a real collective synthesis in which all European specialists have participated. It reviews and comments on all the European literature, while considering the biological (trees, insects, associated organisms, and their relationships) and forest management aspects. However, although focused on the European forest, it also compares the available information and interpretations to those concerning similar species in other continents. It ends with propositions of research priorities for Europe. The book is directed to all scientists and students concerned with forest entomology and ecology, as well as to forest managers and all scientific public interested in forest biology.

Download or read book Atlas of Insects Beneficial to Forest Trees written by Bohumil Starý and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1988 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the present time, the position of modern integrated protection of forests menaced by pests is increasing in importance, and not just because of demands on the quality and quantity of wood being raised. It is steadily becoming more necessary to revise the consequences of the often imprudent, although sometimes seemingly effective, chemical control in forest biocoenosis. Additionally, harmful insects are becoming more resistant to pesticides and so increasing the chance of accidentally jeopardizing plants. In the future concept of integrated forest pest control, we may therefore expect the population density of many harmful species to be regulated to a larger degree by biological control. This book discusses the economic importance of insects beneficial to the protection of forest trees, and provides information on their biology. The text and the pictorial section to this book divide beneficial insects into predators and parasites. The first section is devoted to predators, particularly ants, the most frequent insect species found in forests. Scale bugs, groups of predatory beetles, Neuroptera and Diptera are also mentioned. The second part describes parasitic insects. For this reason, representatives of the order Hymenoptera are mentioned twice: in the first section, among predators (ants) and, in the second part, among the parasites (ichneumons, braconids, chalcid-flies and Aphidiids). Similarly, Diptera are listed in the first section under predatory species (robber flies and lonchaeids) and then at the end of the text under parasitic species (tachinid-flies). An index of scientific names of the illustrated species and a short terminology complete the book. The book is intended as a text book for forestry and agricultural schools, and as a reference text for those concerned with the biological protection of forests, i.e. forest researchers, entomologists and biologists.
