This symposium brings together researchers from around the world to explore the biology of cerambycid beetles (Cerambycidae), including systematics, evolution, ecology, chemical communication, and pest management. By applying cutting-edge research to long-standing questions, we aim to foster cross-disciplinary collaboration and advance our understanding of these ecologically and economically important insects.
