Abstract:Tree-killing bark beetles cause great economic and ecological damage worldwide. Several long-legged fly species of the genus Medetera are natural enemies of tree-killing bark beetles and are of interest as potential biological control agents.

In this thesis, morphological analysis and barcoding were applied in… Show more
