Ecology, Behaviour, and Monitoring of Stored Product Insects
This special issue belongs to the section “Insect Pest and Vector Management“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will cover any studies related to stored product insects such as their ecology, population dynamics, movement and flying behaviour, distribution, diet preference, development on different diets and under different environmental conditions, inter- and intra-species interaction, monitoring and detection in stored structures, and estimation of their density onsite. Both original research articles and reviews will be considered for publication.
