Its outbreaks occur quite frequently. However, the population dynamics of Ips typographus in this region remain poorly understood. The aim of this study is to identify the life cycle characteristics of the species based on data obtained using pheromone traps in the Leningrad Region, to clarify the influence of various factors, and to evaluate the effectiveness of this monitoring method. From 2022 to 2025, observations using barrier pheromone traps north and south of St. Petersburg at several points were carried out. There were 3 traps placed at each point. The traps were inspected at 5-day intervals from early May to late August. The dynamics of beetle flight was obtained based on standardized values of beetle catches. The relationship between beetle swarming and temperature was estimated based on calculated Growing Degree-Days for 2022, 2023 and 2025. A graphical representation of 5-day moving average for daily temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and atmospheric pressure in accordance with calculated swarming dynamics were illustrated. The spring mass flight of the parent generation correlated strongly with daily temperature, but no significant correlation was found with other factors or outside the spring period. Catches after spring flight did not reflect actual population levels. Pheromone traps reliably reflect population density only during the spring flight of the parent generation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/insects17060610","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,10]],"date-time":"2026-06-10T09:25:17Z","timestamp":1781083517000},"page":"610","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Insights from Pheromone Trap Catches in the Northern Part of the Ips typographus Range"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Andrey","family":"Selikhovkin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forest Protection, Wood Science and Game Management, Saint Petersburg State Forest Technical University, Institutski Lane 5, 194021 St. Petersburg, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2797-6348","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nikita","family":"Mamaev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forest Protection, Wood Science and Game Management, Saint Petersburg State Forest Technical University, Institutski Lane 5, 194021 St. Petersburg, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8576-5226","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria","family":"Martirova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forest Protection, Wood Science and Game Management, Saint Petersburg State Forest Technical University, Institutski Lane 5, 194021 St. Petersburg, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1444-4476","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nickolai","family":"Sedikhin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Zoological Institute of Russian Academy of Science, Universitetskaya Emb., 1, 199034 St. Petersburg, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Maslov, A.D.
