About
Eckehard G. Brockerhoff is a leading forest entomologist and invasion biologist whose research focuses on the ecology, management, and spread of invasive forest pests. His major contributions center on understanding how human-mediated transport and climate change facilitate the movement of insects like the brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys). In his notable 2019 study, Brockerhoff investigated the volatile release, mobility, and mortality of diapausing H. halys during simulated shipping movements and temperature changes, providing critical insights into how these pests survive and disperse through global trade networks. This work has been cited 19 times, underscoring its relevance to biosecurity and pest risk assessment. Brockerhoff’s broader impact is reflected in his extensive research on forest health, biological control, and the ecological consequences of invasions, with his publications collectively garnering thousands of citations. His findings inform quarantine protocols and management strategies, making him a key figure in safeguarding forest ecosystems from invasive species.
