CLARIFICATION OF BIOLOGICAL (TROPHIC) FEATURES OF SOME ARTHROPODS IN THE CONDITIONS OF CLIMATE CHANGE.

Abstract

For a long time (since 2005) we have conducted a number of studies of the species composition of entomocomplexes inhabiting various biocenoses, including those artificially created. Under the influence of changes in the parameters of the environment, the formation and diversity of entomocomplexes varies greatly. We studied the entomofauna of cereals and berries. The research was carried out in a fairly wide geographical area of the Forest-Steppe zone. Depending on changes in environmental conditions (temperature, relative humidity), the biological characteristics of arthropods varied considerably. On the territory of the modern Uman district climatic indicators have changed in the direction of temperature increase and humidity decrease. In addition, the amount of precipitation by months varies greatly. This makes its adjustments in the life of arthropods and their food base - plants. New species of arthropods have appeared, in particular spiders, which were not characteristic of this zone.
