ECOLOGICAL FEATURES OF TERRESTRIAL TRUE BUGS

Abstract

The current research work was carried out in order to determine the ecological groups of true bugs at different places in the Khorezm region. The research was carried out during 2017–2021. According to our data, the largest number of species of all the studied species, more precisely mesophilic groups is 72 species, which belong to 12 families and as a percentage they are about 48.32 %. In the mesophilic groups, the most dominant is the family Miridae and Pentatomidae. In the meso-xerophilic groups, 43 species belonging to 14 families were observed, which constitutes 28.86 %. In meso-xerophilic groups the most dominant is the family Geocoridae, Rhopalidae and Pentatomidae. And xerophilic groups in total 34 species were registered in the study area, which belong to 10 families and as a percentage they constitute about 22.82 %. In the xerophilic groups, the most dominant is the family Reduviidae and Pentatomidae and Cydnidae. The data lead to the conclusion that the aridity of the climate, humidity, and temperature affect the group of species under ecological analysis. These three variables control the habitat of various species in ecosystems.
