Maps of scale 1:8,000,000-1:10,000,000 and 1:33,000,000 as well as other published materials have been used.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. Distribution area and zone of damage are shown by polygons.Accuracy of classifier:
Within the limits of the distribution area, the zone of damage includes regions in which the insect population density in the pest.s preferred habitats (banks of reservoirs, hotbeds, vegetable gardens, etc.) reaches 1-2 or more individuals per m2.Mapping procedure:
The map of the Common Mole Cricket.s distribution was drawn based on published data (Shchegolev et al., 1934; Klechkovskii, 1962a; Kryzhanovskii, Dantsig, 1972; Vasilev, 1973) and corrected in accordance with modern knowledge of the species group taxonomy (Zhantiev, 1991). The chart of the Common Mole Cricket.s distribution by Hill (1978) does not reflect the real distribution of the insect in the former USSR, and it has been rejected. Registration and vectorization of raster images was executed using standard GIS technologies. The northern border of the Common Mole Cricket.s distribution area runs across the territories of Leningrad, Kostroma, the Kirov Regions, and Udmurtia; the western border runs along the Ural Mountains and the Volga River basin; the southern border follows the approximate line Kishinev - Astrakhan' (Shegolev et al., 1934; Kryzhanovskii & Dantsig, 1972; Vasilev, 1973; Zhantiev, 1991). Information from the following literature was used to define the boundaries of the zone of damage: Shchegolev et al., 1934; Dobrovol.skii, 1959; Kryzhanovskii, Dantsig, 1972; Vasilev, 1973; Lakhidov, 1976. The boundaries were corrected using Zhantiev (1991).Sources of data:
