Encyclopedia of Pest Orthoptera of the World (2019, 311 pp.) by Michel Lecoq and Long Zhang (Sc. Ed.) from China Agricultural University Press, Beijing. ISBN: 978-7-5655-2232-1.
This encyclopedia covers the main Orthoptera species–locusts, grasshoppers and crickets–considered as important pests of crops and pasture worldwide. Some of these species are invasive at a continental scale. Their control is sometimes critical to food security worldwide, requiring governmental or international involvement. This book–illustrated with more than 120 color photos–may be useful in identifying these pests, also providing biological and ecological data, as well as information on how to manage them in the framework of integrated pest management strategies. It will provide diverse readers–academics, entomologists, farmers, researchers, extensionists – with key information on this group of insects of great economic importance.
