Dimensional and morphological analysis of the detritus from six European wood boring insects

Detailed morphological and dimensional analysis of the detritus deposited in the galleries of wood-boring insects was performed for some of the most common xylophagous insect larvae in timber construction in Spain. The samples studied belong to six species of four common families of borers: Cerambyc...
