Bark beetles and ambrosia beetles (species of the subfamilies Scolytinae and Platypodinae) 'contribute' some of the serious pests of woodland and ornamental trees in many areas. The meeting focused on the challenges posed by these species in Israel. The main attention was devoted to woodborers as invasive species, the black twig borer (= BTB) Xylosandrus compactus in particular. The population of the BTB has been established in the last three years in the Galilee, inflicting severe damage to the major broad-leaved tree species of the local forest. BTB population is gradually spreading southward. At the meeting, several aspects the problem posed by invasive woodborers were presented with an emphasis on BTB. The research and development plans designed to produce the solutions were elaborated.
