Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
After the success of the first edition (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/insects/special_issues/coffee_berry_borer), in terms of the number of articles published, visits, and citations, we are pleased to announce the second edition of this Special Issue on coffee berry borer (CBB, Hypothenemus hampei).
Acceptable formats include reviews, original research papers, or scientific communications on various aspects related to the biology, ecology, and management of CBB. Topics of interest are as follows: laboratory or field experimental research that provides new information on CBB morphology, genetics, and physiology; interactions with host plants and shade trees; chemical ecology; reproductive diapause; microbial ecology; multitrophic interactions; natural enemies; effects of micro-and macroclimatic factors and climate change; sampling, modeling, and simulation; landscape ecology; pest control methods; and knowledge and perceptions of farmers, among other related aspects.
