Abstract

The Scolytinae is highly diversified in tropical forests, but richness and abundance patterns within most Ecuadorian forest habitat types are not yet characterized. Topics discussed include patterns of variation in Scolytinae richness, abundance, and species composition in a primary and a secondary natural forest, and a commercial balsa plantationin Ecuador. Survey of Scolytinae communities with baited traps and measured associated environmental variables.
