Abstract:The four-eyed fir bark beetle Polygraphus proximus Blandford (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Scolytinae) has become an aggressive invader in Siberia’s fir forests in recent decades. However, its spread in the invaded area is not yet complete; this species is absent so far in most of the Siberian fir Abies sibirica Ledeb. range. To predict this process, appropriate models are needed, including at the local level. One of the essential parameters for modeling is the flight characteristics of imago. To evaluate its fl… Show more
