For two successive years, the seasonal occurrence of the scolytid entomofauna was investigated in two pine forests of Northern Greece that differed with regard to the degree of anthropogenic disturbances. Bark boring insects were attracted to flight barrier traps which were baited with ethanol. In total, fifteen different bark boring insect species were collected; twelve of them were common in both sites. Repeated collection in the second year yielded the same number of species. Diversity was estimated according to the Shannon-Wiener Diversity Index (H) and Equita-bility (J) for the two study sites. Despite the fact that both forests are artificial, the pine forest of Chrysopigi demonstrated significantly higher values of both parameters compared to the forest of Kedrinos Hill, indicating higher diversity combined with more even distribution of individuals of the species observed. Differences in the anthropogenic disturbances, which in the case of Ke-drinos Hill forest, is the polluted environment of the nearby situated city of Thessaloniki, might have affected the bark beetle's entomofauna, accounting for the unequal values. |
