SEASONAL DYNAMICS OF CICADAS (HEMIPTERA: CICADINA) ON THE TERRITORY OF THE TIGIREKSKY NATURE RESERVE (ALTAI KRAI)

Abstract

The seasonal dynamics of cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadina) has been investigated at five model locations of Tigireksky Nature Reserve (Altai Krai). 65 cicada species of 43 genera and 5 families have been identified. Two association clusters have been built: aestival and late-summer/autumnal. The maximum abundance for the families Cicadellidae and Membracidae was observed during latesummer/ autumnal period (early September and late July, respectively).
