Orthotomicus erosus (Wollaston, 1857) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) is one of the principal pests of Eurasian forests. Gathering data from this study concerning population genetic structure of O. erosus would help improving new strategies to control the pest by giving new insights on forest management. The aims of the study were to resolve the population genetic structure of Orthotomicus erosus which distributes Mediterranean Region of Turkey and to determine the factors (such as host
