Abstract
The composition of 12 populations of Adalia bipunctata L. of the Crimean peninsula was studied. The proportion of black individuals varies from 4.8% to 64.6%. Comparison of the composition of color forms with climatic parameters of habitats showed that the proportion of black individuals in the population positively correlates with the value of moisture during the period of reproduction of beetles (May-July) and negatively correlates with the mean temperatures of these months.

Summary
Экологическая генетика жуков рода Adalia: состав крымских популяций A. bipunctata зависит от климатических факторов // Экологическая генетика. CC Изучен состав 12 популяций Adalia bipunctata L. Сопоставление состава популяций с климатическими особенностями мест обитания показало, что доля черных особей в популяции положительно коррелирует с влажностью в период размножения (май–июль) и отрицательно со средними температурами этих месяцев. CC Ключевые слова: Adalia bipunctata; меланизм; популяции; температура; влажность.
