“…Ampedus balteatus (Elateridae) is a superdominant, found at a very high frequency in stand MD5. Ampedus balteatus is a zoophagous species developing in pine stumps [80,94], an obligatory saproxylic species [95].…”

“…Only Enicmus rugosus (Latridiidae) and Phloeostiba lapponica (Staphylinidae) were found with the dominant share in three or more assemblages (Table 3). The minute brown scavenger beetle E. rugosus is a mycetophagous species, with an extensive distribution in Europe, obligatorily associated with hardwood CWD as well as softwood CWD of larger diameters [95,97]. It does not show a close association to a specific type of forest habitat [95,98], colonising wood dominated by slime mould Eumycetozoa [99].…”

Background: Resources of dying and dead trees, decaying fragments of stems, stumps and branches, i.e., coarse woody debris (CWD), are an important structural element of biocenoses and are drivers of biodiversity. The aim of this study was to describe assemblages of saproxylic beetles in pine stands of western Poland in view of dead wood resources. We present faunistic (species identity) and quantitative (species and individual counts) data from two types of stands: 1. unmanaged pine stands, in which no trees have been extracted for over 30 years, with processes connected with tree dying and self-thinning of stands being undisturbed, 2. managed pine stands, in which routine tending operations extracting trees are performed in accordance with forest management plans and naturally dying trees are removed in the course of tending and sanitary logging; Methods: Beetles were captured in the years 2013–2014 using window flight traps. Assemblages of saproxylic beetles were assessed based on the indices of dominance, diversity (the Shannon–Weiner index), and species richness (Margalef’s index) as well as the estimated habitat fidelity index, feeding habits, and zoogeographical distribution. Similarity between the assemblages was evaluated applying cluster analysis. Dependence between dead wood resources and the diversity and species richness indices were analysed; Results: A total of 2006 individuals classified to 216 species were captured. Assemblages show considerable similarity on the local scale. Higher values of species diversity indicators were observed in unmanaged stands, in which no sanitation cuttings are performed; Conclusions: The decision to refrain from sanitation logging in pine monocultures results in increased CWD resources, which nevertheless does not lead to a marked increase in the values of biodiversity indicators. Unmanaged stands were characterised by a high share of zoophagous, mycetophagous, and saproxylic species. In contrast, managed stands were characterised by a high share of xylophagous beetles.

“…While none have been identified from X. fornicatus, a few behaviourally active semiochemicals with known responses, like ethanol, have been found to be attractive to many Xyleborus species including X. saxeseni and X. dispar, which are respectively also attracted to pinene (Petrice et al, 2005) and lineatin (Martikainen et al, 2001). Ethanol has been shown to be a synergist for a-pinene in attracting the ambrosia beetle Trypodendron lineatum (Shore & Lindgren, 1996) and the pine-weevil, Hylobius abietis (Tilles et al, 1986).…”

The responses of the tea shot-hole borer beetle, Xyleborus fornicatus, to conspecific and host plant odours were tested in an olfactometer. Males showed greater attraction to unmated females than to mated females and mated females showed a negative density dependent response with extremely significant repulsion shown when 10 mated females were present. Plants of the susceptible tea cultivar TRI2025 were significantly more attractive to females than those of the less susceptible cultivar TRI2023, although stem extracts of the susceptible cultivar were not found to be attractive to beetles. Beetles were found to be attracted to ethanol and to the known tea volatiles eugenol, hexanol, a-and b-pinene, geraniol, and methyl salicylate. The attraction of the tea volatiles was found to be enhanced when they were mixed with ethanol, indicating that ethanol has a broad synergistic effect. In a study on phagostimulant effects of tea extracts, sugars, and caffeine, the methanol extract of cultivar TRI2025 and the sugars glucose and sucrose were found to be attractive, and caffeine repulsive, to beetles. Pellets containing the extract were found to be preferred over those containing glucose. Beetles were attracted to pellets containing glucose/inositol mixture with glucose:inositol in the 3:1 ratio found in the susceptible cultivar TRI2025, being preferred to the mixture in 5:1 ratio found in stems of the less susceptible cultivar TRI2025. Both volatile and nonvolatile constituents of tea appear to play a role in attracting the female beetle to the plant.

“…https://doi.org/10.17221/62/2019-PPS Pfeffer (1976) considers it a boreal species with a distribution coincident with that of its main host. It is a native species to Scandinavia (Lekander et al 1977, Martikainen et al 2001, Poland (Karpiński 1934), where it mainly occurs in the northern part of the spruce distribution area (Burakowski et al 1992), and Czechia (Holzschuh 1995). It is common in the east of the Leningrad Province (Mandelshtam et al 2017).…”

In April 2018, the presence of Pityophthorus micrographus (Linnaeus, 1758) was recorded at the lumber yard, in the town of Spišská Nová Ves. It was collected from a pheromone trap, lured with ethanol. This is the first record of P. micrographus in Slovakia. There is a possibility of its longer presence in Slovakia since it had been confirmed previously in most of the countries neighbouring Slovakia.
