First record of non-native Xylosandrus compactus and Anisandrus maiche (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) in SloveniaHauptman, Tine (Avtor) Devetak, Zina (Avtor) De Groot, Maarten (Avtor) Faccoli, Massimo (Avtor) Piškur, Barbara (Avtor) biological invasionssurveystrappinginvasive alien speciesforestThe introduction of non-native organisms into new areas may pose major threats to natural ecosystems. Therefore, continuous and careful national surveys for the interception of invasive non-native species are necessary. During the national survey of quarantine species in 2023, two new non-native ambrosia beetles, Anisandrus maiche (Kurentzov) and Xylosandrus compactus (Eichhoff), were recorded in Slovenia. Anisandrus maiche was recorded in three locations in the eastern part of Slovenia, with a total of 386 individuals. Three individuals of Xylosandrus compactus were collected in one location near the port of Koper. We discuss the possible pathways of introduction and dispersal.20242024-12-03 14:09:24Neznano20927UDK: 630*4ISSN pri članku: 1175-5334DOI: 10.11646/ZOOTAXA.5415.2.8COBISS_ID: 187068163sl
