“…The Greater European Spruce Bark Beetle, Dendroctonus micans (Kugelann, 1794), with the spruce bark beetle Ips typographus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) are the most economically important forest pests in their distribution area in Eurasia (Grégoire, 1984(Grégoire, , 1985(Grégoire, ,1988Wermelinger, 2004;Özcan et al, 2011a;Alkan Akıncı et al, 2014). D. micans has caused serious damages and tree deaths during outbreaks in spruce forests since the first half of the 19th century to date (Grégoire, 1988;Özcan et al, 2011b;Fraser et al, 2014;Alkan Akıncı et al, 2018;Büyükterzi et al, 2022). It attacks apparently healthy trees besides forked, wounded and overthrown spruce trees (Granet and Perrot, 1977;Grégoire, 1988;Alkan Akıncı et al, 2014).…”
