Reviews for Forest Entomology: A Global Perspective
“With species movement rapidly shrinking the globe, this work is a timely contribution truly transnational in scope.” (The Quarterly Review of Biology, 1 December 2012) "A very thorough subject and taxonomic index and separate host index are helpful for indentifying the world's major forest pests.
