Greetings to our new members,
This group aims to share information, news and resources about forest health issues in South East Asia. One of the questions that I am often asked is “how to find out information on a new pest?” Below I have detailed resources that I find useful, I hope that they can be used by you to help you in your research:
各位朋友大家好
我们团队致力于共享有关东南亚森林健康的新闻资讯，针对大家最常提出的问题之一是“如何获得有关新害虫的最新咨询”，我再次公布一些我获得有效咨询的方法，希望这些方法可以对你的研究提供帮助：
CABI – Invasive Species Compendium
This organization conducts research and collates data and information on global pests. This includes descriptions of the pest, host, and damage observed.
EPPO (European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization) – EPPO Global Database
https://www.eppo.int/RESOURCES/eppo_databases
This database provides information on pests and disease from a European perspective. Includes distribution and information on many Asian species.
Pestlens
An American web service that collects data from across the world about new reports of pests. They also have a newsletter
Asian Forest Health Network
The website for our community contains resources for identifying bark and ambrosia beetles. You can submit a picture and we will endeavor to let you know which beetle you have. If we know about the ecology and distribution, we can share the information that we are aware of.
If you know of other websites and resources then please send me a message (Wechat: aernstsons or email aernstsons@ufl.edu) and I will share it with the group.
Thank you,
Simon
