Hello,
Recently I have been interested in Gnathotrichus materiarius (Fitch, 1858). It is an invasive species from North America, which for the first time was found in Europe in 1933 (France). I found some publications, but information about biology and ecology of this species are modest and inadequate.
In libraries I have an access I found only these publications:
1. Evans, H. F., & Oszako, T. (Eds.). (2007). Alien invasive species and international trade. Forest Research Institute.
2. Haack, R. A., & Petrice, T. R. (2009). Bark-and wood-borer colonization of logs and lumber after heat treatment to ISPM 15 specifications: the role of residual bark. Journal of Economic Entomology, 102(3), 1075-1084

If someone has an access to any other publications about this bark beetle, I will be grateful if you let me know
Thanking you in advance for any help.
Best regards,

Hi Radosław,
I couldn't find new references, but if you do and you can't access them, I should be able to get a copy for you.
Hi Vincent,
I will be glad and grateful for any copy. If you can scan them or take a good photo and send to my email it will be great. It is realy hard for me to find any publications beside these I wrote above.
Hi Vinncent, Worked on this beetle in Michigan. I have attached a power point describe what has been seen. No one has done a complete life history of this eastern North America species. Like Western species G. retusus and G sulcatus which have studied in more detail. Best of luck. Have hard copies of literature cited. Send address to [email protected]
