Fauna and ecological features of pyritic cinder reservoir insects (using the example of the Vologda Region)

Belova Yu.N., Kolesova N.S.  

In June–July 2021, the entomofauna of a storage facility for pyrite cinders in the vicinity of Cherepovets was studied. A total of 161 species of insects from 64 families and 8 orders were found. The orders with the greatest species diversity were Coleoptera, Hymenoptera and Diptera. Most of the species reported are widespread in the region, but rare, including protected, species are also found. The richest species composition of insects is on the tops and slopes of the sludge reservoir. The fauna includes numerous hortobiont species that feed on flowers, pollen and nectar and have good dispersal abilities. A small number of phyllophagous insects was found. At the top and slopes of the sludge reservoir, ants are dominant. A total of 5 species of ants were found in the study area.
