Wang has gathered contributions from an impressive cohort of the
world's most respected experts on longhorned beetles. Chapters
review both basics of cerambycid taxonomy, mor- phology, and
behavior (feeding, reproduction, and chemical ecology), as well as
more applied concerns, such as laboratory rearing, pest control,
and bio- security. Overall, this volume is a valuable contribution
to the literature as a "one-stop shop" for readers seeking a
comprehensive overview of longhorned beetles... It represents a
tremendous effort on the part of Wang and the authors, and has
resulted in a much-needed update to the literature. This volume is
the only work of its kind available at this time, and is a valuable
addition to the library of any scientist studying wood-boring
beetles. - Ann M. Ray, Biology, Xavier University, Cincinnati, Ohio
in The Quarterly Review of Biology, Volume 94, 2019 There are more
than 36,000 described species in the family Cerambycidae in the
world. With the significant increase of international trade in the
recent decades, many cerambycid species have become major plant
pests outside their natural distribution range, causing serious
environmental problems at great cost. Cerambycid pests of field,
vine, and tree crops and of forest and urban trees cost billions of
dollars in production losses, damage to landscapes, and management
expenditures worldwide. Cerambycidae of the World: Biology and Pest
Management is the first comprehensive text dealing with all aspects
of cerambycid beetles in a global context. It presents our current
knowledge on the biology, classification, ecology, plant disease
transmission, and biological, cultural, and chemical control
tactics including biosecurity measures from across the world.
Written by a team of global experts, this book provides an entrance
to the scientific literature on Cerambycidae for scientists in
research institutions, primary industries, and universities, and
will serve as an essential reference for agricultural and
quarantine professionals in governmental departments throughout the
world.
