| description | Various biotic and abiotic factors are the cause of the decline of coniferous forests throughout Europe. Trees weakened by unfavorable weather conditions create an ideal environment for a possible outbreak of bark beetles. The damage caused by bark beetles costs billions of dollars worldwide every year. Extreme climate events are responsible for the enormous forest losses in Tara National Park in the last ten years, leading to a massive bark beetle infestation. The understanding of the diversity and role of mites as biological control agents is still insufficient. In this study, we summarize the current knowledge on the diversity of mites associated with <i>Ips typographus</i> L. in Europe and provide information on the diversity of these mites in Serbia. <i>Paraleius leontonychus</i>, <i>Uroobovella ipidis</i>, <i>Dendrolaelaps quadrisetus</i>, <i>Histiostoma piceae</i>, and <i>Trichouropoda polytricha</i> were detected for the first time in Serbia. Moreover, the occurrence of <i>Paraleius leontonychus</i> represents the southernmost occurrence of this species. |
