Zasięg występowania kornika zrosłozębnego Ips duplicatus C.R. Sahlb. (Col.: Scolytidae) w obszarach górskich południowej Polski

A monitoring network was set up in 2002 in order to define the distribution range of Ips duplicatus in mountain Norway spruce stands in southern Poland. Borregard pipe traps baited with synthetic pheromone Duplodor (Chemipan, Poland) were installed on 70 locations situated above 600 m a.s.l. in Carpathians and Sudeten. The occurrence of I. duplicatus was confirmed in 17 locations in the western part of Carpathians, including those located around 1000 m a.s.l., while no beetles were caught in the eastern Carpathians nor in the Sudeten. The distribution range in Polish mountains is adjacent to those in northern Slovakia and northern Moravia (Czech republic).
