Description
Summary:The study and conservation of insect biodiversity over vast areas requires a detailed understanding of the ranges of species, their distribution and abundance. For this purpose, databases are created that accumulate and organize this information. Object of this paper is to analyze of Scarabaeoidea biodiversity on the Russian Pacific Islands based on a recently published dataset. The data set contains data on 134 species and subspecies from 44 genera and four families of Scarabaeoidea recorded on 21 islands of the Peter the Great Gulf, Sakhalin and Moneron Islands, as well as on 12 Kuril Islands. There are 2138 samples in total in the dataset.The family Scarabaeidae (117 species) dominate in the Scarabaeoidea fauna of the islands by species diversity, other families are not so diverse – Lucanidae (9 species), Trogidae (5 species), Geotrupidae (3 species). Sakhalin island and the Kuril Archipelago are northern borders of distribution for 55 species lamellicorn beetles, and the southern borders of ranges for 13 ...
