Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide knowledge about the present “status” of pest arthropods, mainly insects and mites, both recently introduced and permanently living in the habitats of new geographic world regions. The spread of invasive exotic pests (i.e., whiteflies, beetles, bees, moths, thrips, aphids, etc.) can be considered as one of the main consequences of trade globalization for ecosystems management and biodiversity conservation. Studies on invasion biology could provide important knowledge of non-native pest species, in terms of spread, control, and their relationships with the native fauna. Contributions on this topic are welcome for submission.
