The topics covered address new information about (1) role cargo shipments as invasion pathways arrival such wood borers bark beetles, (2) biogeographical influence ecological economic impact feeding exotic tree species, (3) influ- ence biodiversity impacts invasibility ecosystem, (4) recent advances detection, monitoring, management invasive species native pests. including DNA barcoding identifica- tion, use pheromones monitoring mating disruption, biological control. These likely become even more important with elevated prevalence a result increasing global trade interna- tional travel.
