Halevy, M., Mendel, Z., Assael, F., & Rosen, D. 1995 Natural enemies and other arthropods associated with Matsucoccus josephi (Margarodidae) in Cyprus: an ecological perspective (Abstract only).. Israel Journal of Entomology 29: 265.

Notes: This Israeli pine bast scale occurs at low densities on Pinus brutia ssp. brutia in the Eastern Mediterranean; it causes almost no damage to brutia pine, as opposed to the severe decline and mortality it causes to Aleppo pine in Israel; survey of natural enemies and other arthropods associated with the scale was conducted; community structure was determined using indexes for species richness, heterogeneity and species equitability; environmental factors governing species richness were identified; patterns of species abundance were determined and interpreted according to statistically and biologically oriented models.
