Forests, a valuable source provided by nature to living beings, are indispensable for many living organisms; hence, it is important to ensure the sustainability of forests. Determining the factors that exposure threats to the forests, executing protective methods against them and putting these methods into practise are important for the ecological cycle. Bark beetles, which have destructive effects on the ecosystem, are one of the factors that expose a threat to forests. Therefore, monitoring of these species and determination of effective control strategies are increasingly gaining importance in forestry. Conventional pheromone traps, which are being currently used, provide limited information on flight times of target species. Therefore, the technological development of the capture systems of these traps will determine future control trends. Hence, pheromone traps with electronic control unit were prepared in earlier (ѵ) and new designed (ѵ) versions. In ѵ, 97.5% of target species were counted, and instant temperature, humidity and time parameters at the time of capture were recorded at a practiced field work for the system. In addition to the instant parameters recorded in ѵ, an anemometer used for measuring wind speed, which is considered to have influence on the behaviour of target species, was incorporated into the system. In the trials, the counting success rates under daylight and darkness conditions for Ips sexdentatus adults were 98.1 and 97%, whereas the counting success rates for Pityocteines curvidens adults, which are smaller in size, were 96 and 99%, respectively. In conclusion, data obtained by recording the amount of target species along with the capture moment and parameters related to this will be very useful and provide determinative in the management of target species.
森林是大自然赋予生物的宝贵资源，对许多生物都是不可或缺的，因此确保森林的可持续性至关重要。确定威胁森林的因素，执行保护措施并将这些措施付诸实践，对生态循环具有重要意义。树皮甲虫对生态系统具有破坏性影响，是威胁森林的因素之一。因此，监测这些物种并确定有效的控制策略在林业中日益受到重视。目前正在使用的传统信息素诱捕器提供的有关目标物种飞行时间的信息有限。因此，这些诱捕器的捕获系统的技术发展将决定未来的控制趋势。因此，在早期ѵ和新设计ѵ版本中制备了带有电子控制单元的信息素诱捕器。在ѵ中，统计到了 97.5%的目标物种，并且在现场实践中记录了捕获时的即时温度、湿度和时间参数。除了ѵ中记录的即时参数外，还将风速计（用于测量风速，被认为会影响目标物种的行为）纳入系统。在试验中，在白天和黑夜条件下，成年云杉大小蠹的计数成功率分别为 98.1%和 97%，而体型较小的成年松纵坑切梢小蠹的计数成功率分别为 96%和 99%。总之，记录目标物种数量以及与捕获时刻相关的参数所获得的数据将非常有用，并为目标物种的管理提供决定性依据。
