Impact of industrial pollutions on forest communities of rove beetles (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae) in Shelekhov raion of Irkutsk oblast

摘要

Exeplified by rove beetles from Shelekhov raion of Irkutsk oblast, the impact of industrial pollution on their forest communities is demonstrated. The taxonomic composition, relictivity categories, life forms, ecological and size groups, and biotopes are revealed, the index of similarity of the rove beetle complexes from investigated sites is analyzed. The numbers of ubiquists and saprophages decrease as the distance from the source of pollution increases; the species sensitivity to anthropogenic stress at the Shelekhov site is close to the critical level.
