Abstract

Background and aims Bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) are one of the most economically important pests of coniferous forests. With global climate change, the frequency and severity of outbreaks of these species are increasing worldwide, and the pressure from these outbreaks is negatively impacting the structure and composition of forest ecosystems. Methods In this study, 35 pheromone traps were used to determine the capture rates, capture times, flight periods, and flight durations of Ips sexdentatus beetles in pure black pine forests. Results A total of 102,218 adult I. sexdentatus were captured in the pheromone traps between May and November, and three different flight periods were identified. The second flight period was the shortest, and the third flight period was the longest. The highest capture rates were achieved in the second and third flight periods. 59.1% of the total captured adults were caught in nine of the 35 traps. Conclusion It was determined that the number of beetles caught in the traps varied statistically significantly across the three different flight periods.

Özet

Giriş ve Hedefler Kabuk böcekleri (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), iğne yapraklı ormanların ekonomik açıdan en önemli zararlılarından biridir. Küresel iklim değişikliği ile birlikte, bu türlerin salgınlarının sıklığı ve şiddeti dünya çapında artmakta ve bu salgınlardan kaynaklanan baskı, orman ekosistemlerinin yapısı ve bileşimi üzerinde olumsuz etkiler yaratmaktadır. Yöntemler Bu çalışmada, saf karaçam ormanlarında bir kabuk böceği türü olan Ips sexdentatus erginlerinin yakalanma oranlarını, yakalanma zamanlarını, uçuş dönemlerini ve uçuş sürelerini belirlemek için 35 adet feromon tuzağı kullanılmıştır. Bulgular Feromon tuzaklarında, Mayıs ve Kasım ayları arasında toplam 102.218 I. sexdentatus ergini yakalanmış olup üç farklı uçuş dönemi tespit edilmiştir. Bunlardan ikinci uçuş döneminin en kısa, üçüncü uçuş döneminin ise en uzun sürdüğü belirlenmiştir. İkinci ve üçüncü uçuş dönemlerinde en yüksek yakalama oranlarına ulaşılmıştır. Toplam yakalanan erginlerin %59,1'i 35 tuzağın dokuzunda yakalanmıştır. Sonuçlar Tuzaklarda yakalanan böcek sayısının üç farklı uçuş zamanında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı şekilde değiştiği tespit edilmiştir.
