The fundamental value of universal nomenclatural systems in biology is that they enable unambiguous scientific communication. However, the stability of these systems is threatened by recent discussions asking for a fairer nomenclature, raising the possibility of bulk revision processes for "inappropriate" names. It is evident that such proposals co...

The Lower Zeravshan district of Uzbekistan is characterized by the most arid climate and is particularly affected by global warming and anthropogenic pressure. The biodiversity of herpetobiont beetles in this region has not been sufficiently studied, and this makes it difficult to monitor the fauna of the region. This work was carried out to assess...

The article presents the results of studying the complexes of terrestrial molluscs of various biotopes in the Gissar Range, Uzbekistan. Taxonomic identification of terrestrial molluscs collected from 13 biotopes in 4 altitude regions, determination of individual species' density, and assessment of the similarity of species content among biotopes wa...

The article analysis the species composition of the entomofauna of the Kuhistan ferula (Ferula kuhistanica) in different parts of the Zarafshan ridge. The study revealed 115 species of insects belonging to 92 genera, 48 families, and eight orders. The identified species belong to the following orders: Thysanoptera (1 species), Neuroptera (3 species...

The taxonomic composition and ecological-faunistic characteristics of the fauna of ground beetles in the lower reaches of the Zarafshan River were analyzed. 43 species of ground beetles belonging to 28 genera, 19 tribes and 9 subfamilies were identified. The dominant species are Calathus ambiguus (20.21%), Machozetus lehmanni (17.44%), Harpalus dis...

The seasonal dynamics and the ratio of the main groups of herpetobiont beetles in the agrocenoses of the Zeravshan valley were studied. Light traps were used to collect material. The research was carried out in the agrocomplex, where the main crops are wheat, alfalfa and vegetable crops. The most numerous among the studied groups are the scarab bee...

The morphometric parameters of Acinopus (Acinopus) laevigatus Ménétriés, 1832 (Coleoptera, Carabidae) were studied and their altitudinal variability was assessed. The length of head is the most variable, and the smallest value of the coefficient of variation is observed for the width of elytra. The length of body parts (head, pronotum, elytra) were...

We studied the seasonal change in the number of dominant species of predatory beetles on vegetable crops and determined their potential gluttony. A total of 1,472 beetles were collected, belonging to 22 species of ground beetles (Carabidae) and 27 species of rove beetles (Staphylinidae). The dominant species are: Harpalus rufipes (De Geer, 1774) (1...

Ground beetles (Carabidae) are one the most numerous and well-studied families of Coleoptera. However, the study of the biodiversity of these beetles in Uzbekistan lags far behind other Central Asian countries. This research was carried out during 2018–2019 in two areas in the west part of the Zarafshan Mountain Range – in the Chakilkalyan and Kara...

The species composition and dynamics of the number of ground beetles in cabbage agrocenosis was studied. 22 species of ground beetles belonging to 14 genera were identified. The most widely represented genera Amara Bon. and Bembidion Latr., including 4 species each. The genera Clivina and Pterostichus each have two representatives. Pseudoophonus ru...

В статье анализируется пищевой спектр туркестанского щелкуна Agriotes meticulosus Candèze, 1863. Выявлено 81 видов растений относящихся к 20 семействам, которыми питаются личинки проволочника. В пищевом спектре щелкуна наиболее представительны семейства злаковые (Poaceae) — 22 вида, розоцветных (Rosaceae) — 8 видов, бобовые (Leguminosae) — 7 видов,...

The data on the possibility of using a mixture of the biomass of some halophytes (H.strobilaceum (Pall) Bieb, H.belangeriana (Moq) Botsch, T. hispida Willd, H. aphyllum (Minkw) Iljin, K. caspia, S.microphylla Pall, C.lanata (Pall) Botsch ) and livestock waste as a source of biogas production, as well as the composition of the biogas produced.

Среди изученных видов наиболее высокий уровень накопления сухой биомассы за год наблюдается у сарсазана, так годовая сухая биомасса сарсазана составила 7,8 ц/га. Необходимо отметить, что сырая биомасса сарсазана ниже чем у гребенщика и саксаула черного. Наименьшую сухую годовую биомассу имеет соляноколосник – 6,2 ц/га. У гребенщика и саксаула черн...
