BARK BEETLES AND THEIR PREDATORIES WITH PARASITES OF ORIENTAL SPRUCE (Picea orientalis (L.) LINK) FORESTS IN TURKEY

Özet

In this study, the bark beetle species which they are destructively effected on the Oriental spruce regions are determined between 2005-2006. In addition, predatory and parasite species that attack the bark beetles are introduced. As a result of this study, 23 species harmful bark beetles that bound to 6 tribus and 2 sub-family of the Scolytidae family is identified. Accordingly, 84 predatory species from 21 families under 4 groups, and 23 parasite species from 5 families under 1 group are detected. These predatory and parasite species are very important as a starting point for the biological fighting against the bark beetles.
