Dear colleagues, I am involved in preparation of a book chapter on the Southern green stink bug Nezara viridula (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) and responsible for overview of N. viridula (1) distribution in Asia and (2) its current impact on agriculture in Asia.
As literature on this species is huge, I am a bit confused on how to accomplished this task. There must be some review publications (maybe in grey literature) on the situation in the region (Asia or its parts), and there is no need to do the same work again and again with the huge number of local publications - there will be enough just to cite appropriate recent publications. I know the CABI data on Nezara viridula ( http://www.cabi.org/isc/datasheet/36282) and plan to use/cite it. I see also this page: http://www.cabi.org/isc/abstract/20056600027 , which is relevant to this reference: CABI/EPPO, 1998, Nezara viridula. Distribution map of plants pest. Map no.27. 2nd revision. Wallingford, UK, CAB International. --- although I cannot see the map of 1998 itself. My questions are: - Does anyone have access to the above reference (CABI/EPPO, 1998, Nezara viridula. Distribution map of plants pest) in a digital or paper form and can share it with me? - Does anyone have any regional/global summaries/reviews/reports on N. viridula, from which I can get data on the species' distribution and its current impact on agriculture in Asia (or any of its part)? - Can anybody recommend any other comprehensive information resources or separated recent important publications on this topic? Of course, everything will be properly cited and acknowledged. Thank you very much in advance, With seasonal greetings, Dmitry. ------------------------------------------------- Dmitry Musolin, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Department of Forest Protection and Game Management & Director of Department of Advanced Training and Graduate Studies Saint Petersburg State Forest Technical University Institutskiy per., 5, St. Petersburg, 194021, RUSSIA Tel.: +7(812)-670-92-82 (office), +7-921-325-91-86 (mobile) http://www.bio.vsu.ru/heteroptera/heteropterists_musolin.html www.zin.ru/Animalia/Coleoptera/eng/musolin.htm
