This special issue belongs to the section "Insect Pest and Vector Management".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biological invasion is a topic of global concern, and invasive insect pests are one of the most troubling groups of invasive species. These invasive insect pests cause serious economic losses and lead to grave impacts on agriculture and the ecological environment in invaded areas every year. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to publish the latest research results in the field of population monitoring and the management of invasive insect pests. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not be limited to, the following topics: molecular diagnostics, remote intelligent monitoring, quarantine treatment, early eradication, emergency response actions, biological control, and integrated pest management.
