	abstract = {The tropical weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus was first recorded in southern Portugal from a region with a Mediterranean-type climate, in August 2007. Five months later, some infested Phoenix canariensis and Phoenix dactylifera palms were found 500 km north of the first infested area. The absence of infested palm trees between these two regions is an indication of the important role played by the transportation of adult palm trees in the insect{\textquoteright}s dispersal. The climatic differences between these two infested spots show that the insect is able to colonize temperate areas as well. The presence of other arthropods and mice associated with R. ferrugineus is also mentioned.},
