In the last years extensive outbreaks of the pine engraver beetle Ips acuminatus (Gyllenhal) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) have been reported in many Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) forests in the Alps including the valley of Boite (Dolomites). The beetle has been considered for a long time of minor economic importance, but recently it has been included among the ten most damaging wood boring insect in Europe as a result of the increasing tree mortality caused by this species. Extrinsic factors such as high temperature and drought are known to trigger outbreaks of I. acuminatus and it is likely that climate change may aggravate the threat to pine forests, either with the beetle alone or in combination with secondary pathogens and p...
