The Sirex woodwasp, Sirex noctilio, is the most important invasive
alien insect pest of Pinus plantations in the Southern Hemisphere.
It now also threatens pines in North America. This book brings
together the worldwide knowledge of researchers from Universities
and Government institutions, as well as forest industry
practitioners that have worked on the pest. Importantly, it is the
first comprehensive treatment of the subject since S. noctilio was
discovered outside its native range around 1900. The book covers
all aspects of the biology and management of S. noctilio, including
aspects of the insects' taxonomy, general life history, host-plant
relationships, population dynamics, chemical ecology and symbiosis
with the fungus Amylostereum areolatum. The book also contains a
comprehensive synthesis of the history and current status of the
pest and worldwide efforts to control it, including biological
control, silviculture and quarantine.
