Map was created based on maps of natural scale 1: 33 000 000.Projection:
"Alber.s Equal Area Conic for the USSR", 9, 1001, 7, 100, 0, 44, 68, 0, 0.Basic contents:
Vector map. Area of species distribution is shown by polygons. Zones of recorded mass outbreak are shown by polygons.Accuracy of classifier:
Three damage zones were designated within the moth area as follows: 1) high damage (larvae numbers are consistently 5-8 or more individuals per 1 sq. m on main field crops); 2) moderate damage (larvae numbers are within limits of 2-4 individuals per 1 sq. m, only exceeding this level sometimes); 3) low damage (larvae numbers are 2 and less individuals per 1 sq. m, or the pest is absent on agricultural crops). The subdivision based on zones was averaged according to rises in the phase of the moth population dynamics after periods of depression when the species doesn.t demonstrate a high degree of harmfulness. The following sources were used to determine these limits: Dolzhenko (2004), Kopaneva (1981, 1982), Zakharenko et al. (1985).Method of map production:
Scientists were given maps with boundaries of Oblasts and arable lands. After reviewing historic literature, species distribution was hand drawn on maps. If data were on the Oblast-level, distribution is on the Oblast level. In some cases, Oblast.s are further refined by boundaries of the Arable Land Map (Koroljeva et al., 2003). Hand drawn maps were scanned, georeferenced and vectorized. Damage and distribution zones were determined according to the analysis of the following map materials and literature data: Shchegolev et al. (1934), D.yakonov & Kozhanchikov (1949), Pospelov (1975, 1989), Klyuchko (1985, 1988), Klyuchko & Kononenko (1986), Klyuchko & Nekrasov (1990), Sukhareva (1999), Kononenko (2003). Zones of high mountains of the Caucasus and Central Asia were excluded from the area. The species does not live in sandy and clay deserts.Reference citations:
