“…For example, Orthotomicus laricis infests Pinus, Picea, and Larix, and Polygraphus grandiclava infests Pinus and Picea but also Prunus (Avtzis et al, 2008). Although both species attack the same number of host genera, the phylogenetic relatedness of the host genera clearly indicates that Polygraphus grandiclava has a broader host range than Orthotomicus laricis (Symons and Beccaloni, 1999).…”

“…1) is worth noticing. In the mountain spruce forests in Tatra Mountains, this wide polyphage -host plants include the representatives of Pinaceae and Rosaceae (PFEFFER 1955, 1995, AVTZIS et al 2008, is developing in Arola pine, spruce and, possibly, in dwarf pine too. It is collected only rarely.…”

“…In natural spruce forests in the study area, the beetle is widespread and abundant everywhere where the wind-felling and avalanches regularly modify the forest structure, providing the beetle with a supply of breeding material in the form of spruce roots, stumps and, less frequently, spruce logs well-touching (penetrating) the soil surface. The beetle is known to aggregate near suitable resources and at the beetles of its own species which have located such resources (EIDMANN & KULA & LINDELÖW 1991). Ex-periments showed a positive response of the beetle to mechanical damage (cuts) on pine logs (EIDMANN & KULA & LINDELÖW 1991).…”

“…Bark beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytidae), at least some species among them, e.g. Ips typographus (L.), play a crucial role in the dynamics of Norway spruce forests in Europe (CHRISTIANSEN & BAKKE 1988). The role of particular bark beetle species in modifying the structure of natural spruce forests in West Carpathians, Central Europe, has been well recognized (PFEFFER 1955, STOLINA 1969a.…”

“…This study focuses on the attraction of bark beetles to mature spruce in the timberline forest in Tatra Mountains. The questions addressed are the following: (1) what bark beetle species are attracted or supposed to be attracted to mature spruce devoid of needles in the upper crown?, (2) do such trees growing in different situations (biotopes) in the timberline forest attract different bark beetle fauna?, (3) what is the magnitude of the spruce mortality associated with the occurrence of bark beetles in the timberline forest?…”

Attraction of bark beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) to Norway spruce was studied in the timberline forest in Tatra Mountains, West Carpathians, Central Europe, by trapping bark beetles in flight interception traps fixed to the lower parts of the 18 trunks of spruce trees, and by recording colonizations of bark beetles on those trees in 2004. The trees were devoid of needles in the upper crown (1/4 up to 1/3 of the tree top dead) and were growing in three distant sample plots. Each plot was representing three different situations (biotopes) in the timberline spruce forest-forest, forest line and tree line, in altitudes between 1,280-1,560 m. A total of 18 traps yielded a total of 5,015 individuals and 19 bark beetle species associated with spruce, the five of which, Phtorophloeus spinulosus, Xyloterus lineatus, Pityophthorus pityographus, Pityogenes chalcographus, Ips typographus, were also documented to be developing in the the studied trees. Traps in the forest line yielded more individuals of bark beetles (all species considered together) than those in the forest and the tree line, although this was not significant (P>0.05, K-W Anova). The bark beetle assemblages showed very low dissimilarity in their structure between the forest and forest line, however, the assemblages in these two situations, aparently, differed from the assemblage in the tree line. Over the period 2004-2008 three (16.7%) of the 18 studied trees died. All documented cases of the tree mortality were associated with colonization by I. typographus.

Bark beetles often feed on dead or dying plant tissues, serving as primary decomposers. However, some bark beetle species kill healthy trees, although at the time of attack, these healthy trees are often experiencing stressful conditions, such as drought or lightning strikes. Populations of tree-killing bark beetles can increase in size to a level where they can overcome the resistance of healthy trees and cause mass destruction of forests resulting in tremendous economic and ecological damage. This chapter introduces the reader to bark beetle natural history, diversity, evolution and management. Natural history is organized by feeding ecology, mating strategies, and intra– and interspecific interactions. Evolution and diversity of bark beetles includes discussion of phylogeny, timing of evolutionary events and an annotated and illustrated list of bark beetle genera important to forest entomologists. Management and control covers efforts to reduce losses to bark beetle destruction of forests and plant products. Finally, we present case studies, including outbreak events, which have resulted in vast economic and ecological loss.
