Abstract
The paper presents the results of monitoring the spread of the invasive pest of Siberian fir, Polygraphus proximus Blandford, in the Perm Krai. The study compared the effectiveness of transparent and black barrier funnel pheromone traps using an attractant based on (2Z)-2-(3,3-dimethylcyclohexylidene) ethanol. The target species was detected in all seven surveyed municipal districts, confirming its further expansion to the north of the region. It was found that transparent traps demonstrated a higher overall catchability of P. proximus (187 individuals versus 108 in black traps), but the effectiveness of each type depended on the illumination under the forest canopy. A mass capture of the native species Polygraphus subopacus (2,301 individuals) was recorded, indicating the cross-attractiveness of the pheromone composition used and requiring its optimization to improve the monitoring selectivity.
