A comprehensive companion textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses in Forest Entomology has not been published since the text by Coulson and Witter in 1984.
Comprehensive case studies to accompany chapters on specific feeding guilds and pest management.
This text will have a chapter addressing the invasion biology of forest insects.

This text will have a companion volume co-edited by the same four editors (Volume 1: Allison, Paine, Slippers and Wingfield; Volume 2: Slippers, Wingfield, Paine and Allison).
