Distribution and abundance of Agriotes lineatus L. adults on pheromone traps in four regions in Croatia

The main aim of recent investigation was to determine the distribution and abundance of Agriotes lineatus L. in four different regions of Croatia and correlate the abundance with the prevailed climatic conditions in each region. Investigation was conducted by the mean of pheromone traps (Csalomon) on 17 fields grouped into 7 microregions and four regions according to the climatic data. The average capture of A. lineatus beetles/field and the average dominance index were the highest in County of Zagreb where the most humid conditions were present. Going to the east the amount of rainfall is decreasing and mean average capture of beetles and the average dominance indexes became lower. In County of Vukovar-Sirmium where the highest temperatures and the lowest amount of rainfall is present the dominance indexes were the lowest and the species was classified as dominant or subdominant.
