Fauna and landscape-zonal distribution of Orthoptera in the Komi Republic (Russia)
Orthoptera is a promising model group of insects for large-scale zoogeographic studies. The Komi Republic (Russia, West Siberia) is a suitable region for such kind of work, because it has meridional orientation, coinciding with the global trend of biodiversity, and a well-defined natural latitudinal...

Orthoptera is a promising model group of insects for large-scale zoogeographic studies. The Komi Republic (Russia, West Siberia) is a suitable region for such kind of work, because it has meridional orientation, coinciding with the global trend of biodiversity, and a well-defined natural latitudinal zonation (from the southern taiga to the southern tundra). The goal of the article is to describe a general composition of the orthopteran fauna and to characterize landscape-zonal distribution patterns of species in the Komi Republic. This work is based on data collected by the authors from 1990 until 2018 in 72 geographical localities. In Komi Republic, 29 species of Orthopetra from three families and 18 genera occur.
