Abstract
A field experiment using pheromone traps with nest-building beetles of the foureyed fir bark beetle Polygraphus proximus Blandford (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Scolytinae) confirmed the presence of an aggregation pheromone in this species: wood blocks with males and with male + female pairs attracted significantly more beetles of both sexes into the trap. Wood blocks with males had the maximum attractiveness. Wood blocks with males and females attracted in average 2.5 times less beetles. Wood blocks with females and without insects did not differ in attractiveness from empty (control) traps. Thus, male beetles are the main source of aggregation pheromone in the four-eyed fir bark beetle. The reasons for the differences between our results and those previously published by other authors seem to lie in the behavioral responses of P. proximus beetles to differences in the concentrations of the emitted pheromone in nature and in the limited space of a laboratory experiment.
