Abstract

The paper presents new data on the species composition of ground beetles of row crops in 10 municipalities of the Krasnodar Territory. Pursuant to the research results, 45 species of Carabidae were identified. The chorological analysis and the analysis of the ecological groups noted in the model areas were performed.

Highlights

This study continues long-term observations of the local fauna of ground beetles in agrocenoses of the Northwest Caucasus, namely, the study of the structure of the community of ground beetles formed on row crops of the Kuban Region
The faunas of ground beetles of various agrocenoses are not constant, their composition is influenced by many factors that form a special microclimate, which is confirmed by the researches performed by the domestic and foreign authors at the agricultural landscapes
Pursuant to the results of the arealogical analysis, a sufficiently high similarity of the proportions of chorological complexes was established for all model areas

Summary

Introduction

This study continues long-term observations of the local fauna of ground beetles in agrocenoses of the Northwest Caucasus, namely, the study of the structure of the community of ground beetles formed on row crops (sunflower and corn) of the Kuban Region. This kind of research has already been performed both abroad [15-22] and in Russia, in particular, in the central zone of the Krasnodar Territory [1-13], but, at the moment, these observations have been performed most fully, since they cover all the main zones of the region. The faunas of ground beetles of various agrocenoses are not constant, their composition is influenced by many factors that form a special microclimate, which is confirmed by the researches performed by the domestic and foreign authors at the agricultural landscapes. Together with other studies on this topic, these materials allow to track the fauna transformations, associated with the influence of climate change or anthropogenic impact
