Abstract
We studied the distribution of dendro- and tamnobiont sawflies within geobotanical districts in the middle taiga subzone of Yakutia. The sawflies fauna similarity of geobotanical districts was investigated using cluster analysis, the biotopic distribution of dendro- and tamnobiont sawflies was analysed according to the main types of forest formations. Due to the large number of species and high population density, sawflies play an important role in Yakutian biocenoses and take the leading position among phytophage insects. Many of them are secondary pests of trees and shrubs including such dangerous species as Acantholyda posticalis (Matsumura, 1912) and Diprion pini (Linnaeus, 1758). The study was based on materials collected by the author during 2001–2019 in Central, Western and Southern Yakutia, as well as on entomological collection of sawflies of the Institute for Biological Problems of Cryolithozone SB RAS. The forests of the middle taiga subzone of Yakutia were stated to be a habitat for 176 species of dendro - and tamnobiont sawflies from 34 genera and 6 families. The results of Symphyta fauna analysis by geobotanical districts showed that the Lena-Amga District had the richest Symphyta species diversity, while the least number of species was identified in the Vilyuy District. The cluster analysis revealed the most similar sawflies faunas from the Lena-Amga and Middle-Lena Districts. According to the results of biotopic distribution analysis, the largest species diversity of the tamno- and dendrobiont sawflies was recorded in larch forests, while the smallest in pine forests.
