Extract

When I accepted the invitation to serve as the lead-off speaker for the symposium Managing Bark and Ambrosia Beetles with Semiochemicals on which this special issue is based, I noted that everything one needed to know was published in Seybold et al. (2018), a really good review of the subject. So, I took another course. About 25 years ago, I gave an oral presentation in the form of a letter to an imaginary graduate student. It seemed to go over well, so I decided to do it again. Here is a version of that letter to Sarah, the latest prospective graduate student conjured up by my imagination.
