Abstract:		"The spectrum of Mesostigmata mite species that are phoretic on the bark beetle Ips typographus has been well described. However, phoretic mite abundance has mostly been quantified by researchers who used only a single method for capturing bark beetles: pheromone traps. We therefore compared mite abundance using two beetle-capture methods. At a single location with high numbers of I. typographus in the eastern Czech Republic in 2013, beetles were collected with pheromone traps and from infested logs placed in emergence traps. In total 29,589 I. typographus beetles were captured using the two methods. Mite abundance was assessed on 2400 beetles from pheromone traps and on 955 beetles from emergence traps; in total 5805 phoretic mesostigmatid mites were detected. Six species of phoretic mites were captured using pheromone traps and four species using emergence traps. The number of phoretic mites per beetle was higher for beetles captured in emergence traps than for beetles captured in pheromone traps. The most abundant mite species overall were Dendrolaelaps quadrisetus, Uroobovella ipidis, and Trichouropoda polytricha. The seasonal dynamics of phoretic mites paralleled the seasonal dynamics of their hosts"
