The Brazilian Cerrado has a vast extension and high biodiversity; however, its insect fauna is poorly known. In this picture riparian forests are included, also greatly overlooked. Scolytinae and Platypodinae (Curculionidae), where bark and ambrosia beetles are the predominant groups, and well known as pests in orchards, forests and coffee plantations. However, these beetles may pose as b…
In some avocado producing countries, species of Scolytinae (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) are vectors of fusariosis and laurel wilt, inflicting high losses to orchard owners. In Brasil, we are reporting attacks of Scolytinae beetles in avocado orchards in the state of São Paulo, and it seems these are associated with diseases. The objective of this experiment is to compare, by collections wi…
Beetles of the sub-families Scolytinae e Platypodinae (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) are of economic and ecological importance, due to the high damage inflicted to plants they attack and its high species diversity. Ethanol is a known volatile released by diseased or stressed trees, the preferred hosts of Scolytinae and Platypodinae, and these beetles use this kairomone to located and select …
