COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF COMMUNITIES OF NECROPHILOUS COLEOPTERA IN FOREST AREAS WITH VARYING DEGREES OF ANTHROPOGENIC PRESSURE
Abstract
Necrophilous coleoptera are widely used in ecological research. The article presents the results of a comparative analysis of the Coleoptera fauna associated with the soil surface and ground substrates, three localities, with varying degrees of antopogenic pressure, but similar in natural conditions (a forest area in an industrial zone, a pine forest area on the territory of a nature reserve, an island floodplain forest area). 96 species from 9 Coleoptera families (Silphidae, Trogidae, Scarabaeidae, Nitidulidae, Leiodidae, Dermestidae, Histeridae, Hydrophylidae, Staphylinidae) were collected. To analyze the fauna, the indices of Jacquard, Shannon, Pielu, Berger — Parker, Zhivotovsky, widely used by ecologists, were used. Almost all indices showed average values. Differences in fauna and its structure are mainly related to the peculiarities of vegetation cover and the presence of stations (settled areas, household garbage, etc.) that are attractive to certain species of coleoptera. The author explains the insignificant influence of the technogenic factor on the complex of necrophilous coleoptera of the forest area in the industrial zone with a small volume of production at the end of the XX — beginning of the XXI century, which allowed the community of a mature aboriginal forest to maintain a state close to natural.
