Because of its peculiar biology, its negative impacts on forestry, and its urticating larvae affecting human and animal health, pine processionary moth has largely been studied in many European countries during the last century. However, knowledge remained scattered and no synthesis has ever been published. Since the IPCC retained the moth as one of the two insect indicators of climate change because of its expansion with warming up, filling this gap became increasingly important. Led by INRA, this book associates 101 authors from 22 countries of Europe, Minor Asia and North Africa, combining all the concerned research fields (entomology, ecology, genetics, mathematical modelling, medical and veterinary science, pest management) in a multidisciplinary approach to understand and model the processes underlying past, present and future moth expansion and to propose adapted management methods. Besides, the major biological patterns of the related processionary species are also detailed.
This book presents the state of the art in entomological research in various Mediterranean forest ecosystems in the world. Unique in its field, it fills an important gap in forest and Mediterranean entomology. It is composed of 4 main parts: overviews on research works; entomological biodiversity; life cycles and relations with host trees; survey and control of insect populations. Researchers, teachers and students in universities as well as forest managers will find in it ground for thinking and much recent information.

It is commonly recognized that the Cedars of Lebanon were prized in the ancient world, but how can the complex archaeological role of the Cedrus genus be articulated in terms that go beyond its interactions with humans alone?
Ogni albero custodisce una storia. Cacciatore di essenze, esperto di profumi e instancabile viaggiatore, nelle sue esplorazioni Dominique Roques ne ha collezionate un’infinità. Figlio di un taglialegna, frequenta i boschi fin da bambino, seguendo all’inizio le orme del padre prima che la fascinazione per l’olio di aghi di pino decida del suo futuro mestiere di cercatore di essenze per l’industria dei profumi, dando un senso al suo percorso. Per oltre trent’anni, visita foreste leggendarie e incontra persone eccezionali: agronomi, produttori di oli essenziali, responsabili di riserve che lottano ogni giorno contro la deforestazione e che lo aiutano a comprendere il legame millenari...

This regional study presents an overview of the socio-economic importance and ecological impact of the use of non-wood forest products (NWFP) in the Near East. The document consists of two main parts: i) presentation of background information on the programme activities and analysis of the available information on the regional level; and ii) presentation of data on NWFP on the national level (so-called "country profiles") for Afghanistan, Bahrain, Cyprus, Ira, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, United Arab Emirates and Yemen.
