Plastinchatousye zhuki (Coleoptera, Scarabaeoidea) Amurskoj oblasti

The specialized book "Plastinchatousye zhuki (Coleoptera, Scarabaeoidea) of the Amur Region" offers a comprehensive monograph on the beetle fauna of the Amur region in Russia. It covers the history of research on this group from 1844 to 2006 and presents an annotated catalog of 93 species from 36 genera, 17 tribes, 12 subfamilies, and 5 families. Additionally, it analyzes ecological aspects such as diet, phenology of the imagines, and biotope distribution. The book identifies species that pose potential threats to natural flora and agricultural ecosystems and establishes the distribution boundaries of these taxa. A zoogeographic analytical approach is employed to study the Scarabaeoidea fauna in the region and to propose a zoogeographic classification of the Amur region. This work is aimed at entomologists, ecologists, educators, students, and professionals in the agricultural and forestry sectors.
