Invasive Stink Bugs and Related Species: Pentatomoidea: Biology, Higher Systematics, Semiochemistry, and Management

Invasive species can cause tremendous economic damage. The superfamily Pentatomoidea (stink bugs and their relatives) is comprised of 16 families worldwide with about 7,100 species, the largest of which is the family Pentatomidae (4,700 species). This book provides a better understanding of the biology and economic importance of these species, why they become invasive, and what the future holds for the continued geographic expansion and resulting direct and indirect effects of these bugs on the human population.
