| Summary: | Ambrosia beetles are a natural part of the wood decomposition
processes in ecosystems; however, some exotic species can cause serious problems in economically important crops, or seriously threaten
native plant species (Sobel et al. 2015). Outstanding examples confirming this are the introduction of Xyleborus glabratus Eichhoff (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) and Euwallacea sp. (Coleoptera:
Curculionidae: Scolytinae) ambrosia beetles (Pisani et al. 2015), native
to Asia, but introduced into the USA near Savannah, Georgia. |
