Synopsis
This book discusses insects introduced by accident or on purpose to Australia: the socalled exotic insect fauna of Australia. The topic is important for many reasons, but especially because of the enormous economic impact that such introductions have had. Topics covered include background biological matters (arrival, establishment, invasion), beneficial species, pests and pest control, conservation issues and, finally, prediction and regulation. Examples include sheep blowflies, various insects of medical importance, dung beetles, woodwasps, aphids and others. Some important insects not yet present in Australia are also discussed. The book will interest agricultural and medical scientists and all entomologists. It will also interest all quarantine officers and remind them of their need to maintain vigilance. At educational institutions, it will be of interest and use both at undergraduate and graduate level. Dr. Tim New is one of Australias leading entomologists.
