Cartographic analysis of woodlice fauna of the former USSR
نویسندگان
چکیده
An inventory of the woodlice fauna of the former USSR yielded 190 species, 64 of them were recorded from the territory of Russia. According to the cartographic analysis, the limits of distribution of epigean terrestrial isopods over the area, excluding mountains, is explained by temperature. No woodlice records were found outside the isocline of 120 days a year with the mean daily air temperature >10°C. The highest species diversity was found between the isoclines of 180 and 210 days. These areas correspond to forest-steppe and steppe zones.

Fauna-associated changes in chemical and biochemical properties of soil.
OBJECTIVE To study the impacts of abundance of woodlice, termites, and mites on some functional aspects of soil in order to elucidate the specific role of soil fauna in improving soil fertility in desert. METHODS Fauna-rich sites were selected as experimental sites and adjacent areas were taken as control. Soil samples were collected from both sites. Soil respiration was measured at both site...

متن کاملAn Investigation on Selecting Cartographic Scales on Sediment Delivery Ratio in Jamash Watershed
Multicipality inputs of different analysis of digital data in modern methods of map processing causes the changes in results of erosion and sediment models. In this context, selecting a cartographic scale as the major input of spatial data has become a challenge issue in erosion and sediment modeling. Therefore, in this study, using topographic maps and selecting to spatial scales (1:25000 and ...
متن کاملFirst North American record of the Palaearctic rhinophorid Stevenia deceptoria (Loew) (Diptera: Rhinophoridae).
The Rhinophoridae (Diptera) have a cosmopolitan distribution and a known fauna of about 150 species (Cerretti & Pape 2007). So far as known, all species are parasitoids of terrestrial woodlice (sow bugs) of the order Isopoda (Oniscoidea) (Pape 2010). Female rhinophorids lay eggs in the vicinity of potential hosts and the planidial first instars parasitize sow bugs as they pass by (Pape 1998).
