TL;DR: Inclusion of soil animals will improve the predictive capabilities of region- or biome-scale decomposition models, soil animal influences on decomposition are important at the regional scale when attempting to predict global change scenarios, and the statistical relationship between decomposition rates and climate, at the global scale, is robust against changes in soil faunal abundance and diversity.

TL;DR: Invertebrate conservation may be assisted by specific forestry operations, including windrowing, mound ploughing, and leaving waste prunings and thinnings to rot, reducing the risk of local extinctions.

TL;DR: Effective management of bark beetles under these circumstances will depend on a better understanding of the key chemical ecology stimuli of relevance to each pest, particularly when other insect pests and their associates are present together with bark beetles.

TL;DR: This Chapter provides a synopsis of the Sirex Control Strategy in light of new developments and procedures that compliment the original strategy, and describes current research activities and emerging issues.

TL;DR: In this article, the effectiveness of combinations of panel and funnel static traps with lures in surveillance to detect wood-boring insects in softwood (Pinus) and hardwood (Eucalyptus) plantations was examined.
