Once established in new geographic regions, these species have increased their numbers and geographic distributions dramatically, causing economic damage totaling billions of dollars. Within this superfamily are six invasive species, two that occur worldwide and four that are recent invaders in North America. Containing the contributions of more than 60 stink bug specialists from 15 countries, this book provides a better understanding of the biology and economic importance of these invasive species, why they became invasive, and how their continued geographical expansion is likely to affect numerous agricultural systems and natural environments. The Superfamily Pentatomoidea (stink bugs and their relatives) is comprised of 18 families with over 8,000 species, the largest of which is the family Pentatomidae (about 5,000 species). These species primarily are phytophagous, and many cause tremendous economic damage to crops worldwide. Including over 3,500 references, this authoritative work serves as an access point to the primary literature on their life histories, higher systematics

A Festschrift was dedicated to him in 2012 by the Governing Board of the Michigan Entomological Society and was comprised of a series of papers, primarily on the Pentatomidae, contributed by colleagues and former students.. He was promoted to associate Professor in 1974 and to professor in 1979. E. He obtained his Ph.D. McPherson has written broadly on the ecology and systemat
