Reviews

This book is a treasure trove of information on the biology of bark beetles...The 35 authors who wrote these chapters are to be congratulated on this opportunity to write their stories. --The Quarterly Review of Biology, Bark Beetles ...numerous color photographs and illustrations are a definite plus and add a touch of aesthetics to the work...contains a wealth of information on all aspects of bark beetles and is a welcome and essential tome for foresters, entomologists, and all growers of crops affected by bark and pinhole beetles...editors are to be applauded for organizing such a comprehensive compendium. --Society for Invertebrate Pathology Newsletter, Bark Beetles ...will be required reading for students, researchers, pest management professionals, tree care specialists, and policy makers in need of an expansive and contemporary synthesis of the bark beetle literature. Many of the chapters also contain exceptional images that are helpful in visualizing important concepts... --American Entomologist, Bark Beetles This is a valuable and unique book with a lot of useful information...thanks are due to all the editors and contributors for preparing such an excellent compendium of bark and ambrosia beetle taxonomy and biology. --European Journal of Entomology,Bark Beetles
