ЭКОЛОГО-ФАУНИСТИЧЕСКИЙ ОБЗОР ЖУЖЕЛИЦ ТРИБЫ PTEROSTICHINI (COLEOPTERA, CARABIDAE) ПАРКОВЫХ УРБОЦЕНОЗОВ СЕВЕРНОЙ И ВОСТОЧНОЙ УКРАИНЫ

Abstract

As a result of research in parks of Kiev, Kharkov and Donetsk cities, 21 species of ground beetles from four genera of the Pterostichini tribe were identified. The number of species in the parks of each cities ranged from 9 (Kharkov) to 16 (Kiev). Only in the parks of Kiev marked the species frome genera Abax , Molops and some Pterostichus , which is due to the boundaries of their areas. The data of a comparative ecology-faunistic analysis of Pterostichini in the main urban and agrocenoses of different cities are presented. Faunal similarity was lower for parks of Kiev and Donetsk (0.26/0.33 by Jacquard and Chekanovsky-Sorensen indexes), but higher for Kharkov/Kiev and Kharkov/Donetsk (0.43–0.58 and 0.60–0.73). Depending on the station, some ecologically close species are replaced by others. Numerous in agrocenoses P. cupreus Linnaeus, 1758 in urban cenosises was rare, where replaced by the close species – P. versicolor Sturm, 1824. Steppe species P. crenuliger Chaudoir, 1876 were common in the fields, but rarely observed in the parklands. The faunistic indexes (when comparing the total species composition) of agrocenoses and parks varied from 0.44–0.50 (according by Jacquard) to 0.55–0.70 (according by Chekanovsky-Sorensen). In a comparative analysis of only dominant species, the similarities of Pterostichini in agrocenosis / parks decreased to 0.10–0.18. This may indicate a significant specificity of the main composition of ground beetles for these stations. The general similarity of the carabidofauna of forest belts and parks (by the example of Kharkov) did not differ much from that of agro- and urbocenosises (0.46–0.63), mainly due to forest and polytopic species. However, when comparing of only common species, this index fell to – 0,25–0.30. Key words : Coleoptera, Carabidae, parks of Kiev, Kharkov, Donetsk, faunistic similarity, ecological groups, Ukraine.
