Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Stink bugs are insects from the Pentatomidae family and are classed as pests. These insects cause serious damage to crops, fruits, vegetables, and ornamental trees, and some of them are world famous invasive pests, e.g., the Southern Green Stink Bug and Brown Marmorated Stink Bug. Effective monitoring and integrated pest management strategies are needed in both native and newly invaded countries. The development of control technology lies in biological and ecological characteristics. This Special Issue will focus on the biology and ecology of stink bugs and the environmental control research, especially biological control and physical control technology. We would like to invite all works, including original research and/or review articles, covering stink bugs to this Special Issue.
Dr. Jinping Zhang
