1:20,000,000.Accuracy of map:
Map was created based using published literature and maps of scale 1:20,000,000-60,000,000.Projection:
"Alber's Equal Area Conic for the USSR", 9, 1001, 7, 100, 0, 44, 68, 0, 0.Basic content:
Vector map consisting of 2 layers. Zones of distribution and damage are shown by polygons.Accuracy of the classifier:
Within the area of insect distribution, we have denoted a zone of low damage, where the density of darkling beetles regularly exceeds economic threshold (5 larvae per sq. m.), and B. halophila is merely a background species, amounting to no less than 10% of total number of darkling beetles.Mapping procedure:
The map of Steppe Darkling Beetle's range and harm was compiled using a map prepared by G.S.Medvedev (1984). Records of B. halophila from Uzbekistan (including Kara-Kalpakstan), Turkmenistan, and Tajikistan (Arnol'di L.V., Borkhsenius N.S., et al., eds. 1949; Vasil'ev, 1974; Shamuratov, 1979; Anonym, 2002-2003.) is not confirmed by surveys of the regions specified above. The zone of harm was compiled based on published materials listed below. The zones of distribution and damage of B. halophila were specified using maps of vegetation (Barysheva et al., 1992); the zone of damage was additionally specified using a map of agricultural lands.Sources of data:
