LOCAL COLLEMBOLAN DIVERSITY (HEXAPODA, COLLEMBOLA) IN OLD-GROWTH LANDSCAPES OF MIDDLE VOLGA FOREST-STEPPE
Background. The border of the Don’s part of the glacier passes in the forest-steppe zone of the Middle Volga in the Penza region. It is possible to identify the rich and diverse fauna of collembolans, as well as to find rare species in the old-growth soils of non-glacial areas with the lowest anthro...
