Date of creation:
15.03.2008.Scale:
1:20 000 000.Accuracy of map:
It is created on information taken from the open published literature and maps of scale 1: 30 000 000 . 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. Area and zone of damage are shown by polygons.Accuracy of the classifier:
Within the limits of the general area, the zones of moderate and low damage are allocated for the pest having economic significance. In the zone of moderate damage, the species population density exceeds economic threshold under favorable conditions in spring. The threshold is 2 beetles per 1 sq.m (Voshedskii, 2004). The Darkling Beetle damages sporadically in places in the zone of low damage.Method of map production:
The map is compiled by results of the analysis of the open published materials. The dotted map of species area by G.S.Medvedev (1981) is taken as a prototype, supplemented with data on its distribution from the applied literature (Znamenskii, 1926; Sakharov, 1947; Gussakovskii, 1949; Kobakhidze, 1957; Khakham, 1957; Arnol.di & Gur.ev, 1960; Medvedev, 196, 19745; Minoranskii, 1973, 1978, 1989; Belyaev, 1974; Knor, 1976; Kabanov, 1976; Polyakov & Kopaneva, 1980; Abdurakhmanov, 1994; etc.). Northern border of the area in the European part reaches the south of Karelia and Perm Territory (Znamenskii, 1926; Medvedev, 1965; Koz.minykh, 1997). The species is known from the Volga region (Sakharov, 1947), Northern Caucasus and Transcaucasia (Minoranskii, 1973, 1978, 1989; Znamenskii, 1926; Medvedev, 1965; Kobakhidze, 1957; Abdurakhmanov, 1940; Khakham, 1957), North and East Kazakhstan (Medvedev, 1981; Nurmuratov, 1986). In Central Asia the Darkling Beetle lives in mountain and foothill zones of Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan (Popova, 1957; Gussakovskii, 1949; Medvedev, 1981); it occurs in Siberia eastward to Baikal (Medvedev, 1981; Kryzhanovsky, 2002). Records from Mongolia and Primorskii Territory belong to other species (Medvedev, 1981, 1992). High mountains and sandy deserts are excluded from the area. Steppe zone of Ukraine and Northern Caucasus are included in zone of moderate damage. The border of this zone in the Northern Caucasus is specified by results of the analysis of a map by Dobrovolskii (1959). Forest-steppe zone of the European part, the Lower Volga, the South of Siberia, and Kazakhstan and Central Asia are included into zone of low damage within the limits of areas of arable lands.Reference citations:
