Ambrosia and bark beetles have been widely studied in both tropical and temperate forest regions. However, studies on their diversity across different forest types and their seasonal variation in the warm-temperate forest of Japan remains limited. We investigated the diversity and seasonal variation of ambrosia and bark beetles across two forest types in southern Japan. We collected ambrosia and bark beetles using flight inter...

We present a synthetic review and expert consultation that assesses the actual risks posed by arthropod pests in four major crops, identifies targets for integrated pest management (IPM) in terms of cultivated land needing pest control and gauges the implementation “readiness” of non-chemical alternatives. Our assessment focuses on the world’s primary target pests for neonicotinoid-based management: western corn rootworm (WCR,...
