Fauna and landscape-zonal distribution of Orthoptera in the Komi Republic (Russia)
Abstract. 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 l...
