| Sammanfattning: | Scolytids have been studied more than any other forest insect group, but most investigations have been restricted to only a few species and mainly to their role as pests. The thesis here aimed to expand these studies to on the one hand the role of pest species as ecosystem engineers and thereby their influence on biodiversity and on the other hand to the whole subfamily of Scolytinae to improve the understanding why some are abundant and some are rare as well why some species occur as pests and other do not. |
