Abstract

The structure of Pinus sylvestris L. consortium of various ontogenetic conditions in the regions of the Republic of Mari El and the city of Yoshkar-Ola in the territory of Russia is described. Based on modern methods of collecting arthropod animals in tree crowns and studying the structure of consortium, data analysis has been performed. With P. sylvestris coenopopulations, 73 species of Insecta and Arachnida are associated. The dominant species diversity is Coleoptera. The trophic groups of Insecta and Aranei, the groups in the breadth of the range of nutrition and harmfulness are characterized. It is shown that the diversity of Insecta and Aranei complexes in P. sylvestris coenopopulations is determined by the age features of the tree and the ecological conditions of the study areas. Consideration of the ontogenetic state of the determinant of the consortium and analysis of the formation of different types of integumentary tissue contributes to the prediction of the stages of colonization and damage to trees by harmful Insecta. It was suggested that for the detailed characterization of the consortium, it is necessary to organize a long-term monitoring of the state of tree stands and the composition of their consorts using the population-ontogenetic approach.
