Abstract
Most aggressive bark beetle species (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) are associated with fungi which play an important role in the establishment of these beetles on conifers. The success or failure of establishment appears to depend on the capability of the tree to defend itself, especially the so-called hypersensitive reaction directed against the associated fungi (Reid et al. 1967; Berryman 1972; Safranyik et al. 1975; Raffa and Berryman 1982, 1983; Christiansen and Hornvedt 198 3). However, almost nothing is known about the mechanisms of the establishment of the European bark beetles on their usual host trees except for Ips typocrraphus in Norway spruce.
