Together, these works form what must be one of the finest references available to workers on any family of beetles. 2. Bibliographies Because of the importance of bark beetles in forest protection and forest industry, many works and notices about their biology, faunistics and forest protection methods have been published in forestry-oriented papers.
1. Historical overview The first five species of Scolytidae to be described were named by Linnaeus (1758), and placed in his genus Dermestes. All are European species, but now placed, of course, in other genera. Geoffroy (1762) described the genus Scolytus for the species S. scolytus, and transferred Linnaeus' species to the genus Bostrichus. Fabricius (1801) included 52 species of scolytid in his monograph, and added the genus Hylesinus. He also described the first platypodid species, Platypus cylindrus, although in the genus Bostrichus.
Chapters 11 and 18; Kenis and Hilszczanski, chapter 21). 6. Monitoring Part of effective management of pests is knowledge of their distribution and abundance, especially in relation to availability a of breeding material. Monitoring is, therefore, an important element in making decisions about whether to apply active control measures. Most countries implemented some form of monitoring system and these are listed for the major pests in Table 17. The most commonly employed measures use a combination of visual surveys, supplemented by use of various trap systems using pheromones/attractants or trap trees/logs.
