A survey of Scolytinae was carried out in native vegetation in the city of Campo Verde, Mato Grosso, by using 60 ethanolic traps, distributed in six treatments (T) and ten repetitions. With the exception of T4, alcohol was placed in the collection vial. In T1 (control) water, salt and neutral detergent were used; T2 = 25% alcohol; T3 = 50% alcohol; T4 (traps with 96% ethanol in the hose and 70% in the collection flask); T5 = alcohol 75% and T6 = alcohol 96%. There were 13 genera, 31 species and 7,469 individuals. Hypothenemus eruditus, Xyleborus affinis and Sampsonius dampfi were the most common. Population peaks were more frequent in the dry months of the year.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
