Abstract

The paper contains succession complexes characteristic of xylophilous beetles on different stages of biological wood and bark destruction. Beetles were found on 3 bark destruction and 5 wood destruction stages on the National park
“Bielovezhskaya pushcha” teritory. Beetls complexes which contain in their development with xylotrophic fungi fruitbodies and micromycetes were picked out in separate groups. Beetles complex which concerned with different microstations is presented by maximum number of species (179). Entomological complex of lukanidae stage of wood destruction is shown
high extent of species diversity. It includes 121 species of beetles. Considerable number of species (119) contain in their development with xylotrophic fungi fruitbodies. Small number of species (13) was found on lumbricidae stage of wood destroing. Entomological complex of formicidae stage includes the least number of species (7). Xylophilous beetles taxonomic group diversity (on family level) increases with every following bark and wood destroying stage. It is connected with trophic resources spectrum widening.
