A review of 28 species of insects from 17 families of 4 orders that inhabit the galleries of the four-eyed fir bark beetle Polygraphus proximus in the area of its invasion in Siberia is given with data on their distribution, trophic associations, occurrence, abundance, and locations. A characteristic of the xylophilous insect community associated w...

The role of Polygraphus proximus Blandf., an invasive bark beetle of Far Eastern origin, in the transformation of taiga ecosystems of the plains of Western Siberia is evaluated. It is shown that this species is currently one of the main factors of degradation of the Siberian fir forests and various changes in their ecosystems. The consequences of i...
