Özet
Insects interact with plants in direct or indirect way. The host selection and host sensitivity especially in bark beetles are important in terms of their population and potential. T he sensitivity of host trees is important in beetle epidemic as serious damages may be given to trees during epidemics. T he current study, the moisture content of wooden samples taken from Anatolian black pine trees that were damaged by Ips sexdentatus and healty trees has been determined. A total of 174 samples was taken from 29 trees (58,6% from damaged trees, 41,4% from healthy trees). The average moisture content of trees was 40,75% for damaged trees, and 32,68% for healthy trees. The moisture content of these trees is significantly different and invasions have negatively affected moisture content. There is no statistical difference between the moisture content of samples taken from north and south sides of damaged trees, however there is a difference among moisture contents of samples from three different heights (1.30m, 3.30m, 5.30m), but indifferent from north and south
