Ten bottle-traps were stapled on dead spruces or on broad-leaves in five spruce stands among which two comprised pines a species particularly favourable for the pupation of the predator Thanasimus formicarius. The phenology of T. formicarius closely reflected that of its prey in all stands. We show that the proportion of pines within a 500 m radius is the main variable influencing predator prey ratios and that this variable alone outperforms other forest composition indices such as the Shannon diversity index estimated using all tree categories or reduced to integrate only three categories spruce pine others . These results are discussed with regard to the possible role of host trees and host-tree diversity in both insects life-cycles and how the T. formicarius Ips typographus ratios could be used to describe the status of Ips typographus infestations. biodiversity index biological control Ips typographus Scolytidae Shannon index Thanasimus formicarius Cleridae Résumé - Les ratios prédateur proies une mesure des populations de scolytes influencee par la composition du peuplement dans differents sites franẹais après les tempêtes de 1999.
