The management of tropical forest ecosystems is essential to the health of the planet. This book addresses forest insect pest problems across the world's tropics, addressing the pests' ecology, impact and possible approaches for their control. Fully updated, this second edition also includes discussions of new areas of interest including climate change, invasive species, forest health and plant clinics. This work is an indispensible resource for students, researchers and practitioners of forestry, ecology, pest management and entomology in tropical and subtropical countries.

's career as a forest entomologist spans 45 years, commencing in 1967 with the Department of Forests in Papua New Guinea, and since 1974 with forestry in Queensland, Australia. His research has encompassed all facets of forestry, from insect pests of seeds and seedlings to pests of tree plantations, native forests, agroforestry and timber. He has worked with forest insects in more than 20 tropical and subtropical countries throughout Asia and the Pacific. He has a particular interest in invasive species and has been involved in establishing pest early warning systems in several Asia-Pacific countries. He is currently Science Manager with the Biosecurity Queensland Control Centre, Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry in Brisbane.
