	abstract = {The aim of this work is to elucidate further details of the biology, feeding behaviour and ecology of the bark beetle Tomicus destruens (Wollaston, 1865). In recent years, this species has caused considerable damage to pine plantations in Algeria, especially its main host Aleppo pine, Pinus halepensis growing in arid areas. The results showed that the beetle has one generation per year, from April to the beginning of October; adults disperse and cause primary damage by colonizing new shoots and branches of host trees growing close to the reproduction site. By the end of autumn and during the winter, females cause secondary damage by oviposition into constructed galleries between host pine bark and sapwood.},
