Responses of bark beetle (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) community structure to green-tree retention in pine tree forest from Korea

Seasonal occurrence of bark and woodboring Coleoptera in stands of Pinus densiflora (Pinales: Pinaceae) and Larix kaempferi (Pinales: Pinaceae) and monitoring method using multifunnel traps baited with pine volatiles

“…Only some studies (Lee and Lee 2000, Kim et al 2016) have analyzed the bark and woodboring Coleoptera community of P. densiflora stands in Korea. Kim et al (2016) investigated the changes in the bark beetle community in a P. densiflora stand from 2013 to 2015, reporting 29 species of bark and ambrosia beetles.…”

“…Only some studies (Lee and Lee 2000, Kim et al 2016) have analyzed the bark and woodboring Coleoptera community of P. densiflora stands in Korea. Kim et al (2016) investigated the changes in the bark beetle community in a P. densiflora stand from 2013 to 2015, reporting 29 species of bark and ambrosia beetles. Fourteen species, including Ambrosiodmus rubricollis (Eichhoff) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), C. mutilatus , and H. interstitialis , were the same as those captured in the present study.…”

“…The main reason for the difference might be the different collection methods. Kim et al (2016) and Lee and Lee (2000) used funnel traps baited with ethanol and trap logs as attractants, respectively.…”

Effects of Forest Management Practices on Moth Communities in a Japanese Larch (Larix kaempferi (Lamb.) Carrière) Plantation

“…After the establishment of the Act, the aggregated retention method is popularly conducted by the local government. However, there are limited studies on the effects of the aggregated retention practices on the ecosystem health and biodiversity [13][14][15][16][17][18]. Among these studies, Kim [13], Ming [14], and Jeong et al [16] reported the effects of aggregated retention on vegetation and environmental factors.…”

“…The aggregated retention area showed lower daily change in micro-environment (transmitted light, temperature, humidity) compared to harvested area due to the remaining canopy, showing fewer effects on plant species diversity and ecosystem stability that the dispersal retention [13,14]. Meanwhile, Jeon et al [15] studied the response of insect fauna in designated regeneration forests for a baseline of comparative analysis of insect diversity, and Roh et al [17] and Kim et al [18] studied the changes of coleopteran insect communities in a green-tree retention forest.…”
