Abstract:
In this chapter we concentrate on the main invasive species which feed on the foliage, by consuming leaves or inducing galls, and which affect both native and non-native tree species. We provide details on their biology, invasion routes, host tree species, damage to native and non-native trees and control strategies. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland, 2016.
