Scale:

1:20 000 000

Accuracy of map:

Map was created based on information taken from open-published literature and maps of scale 1: 33 000 000 and 1: 17 000 000.

Projection:

"Alber's Equal Area Conic for the USSR", 9, 1001, 7, 100, 0, 44, 68, 0, 0.

Basic contents:

Vector map. Area of species distribution is shown by polygons. Zones of recorded mass outbreak are shown by polygons.

Accuracy of classifier:

Only a zone of low damage was allocated within the limits of the general area in the territory of the former USSR. The species is found all over together with foliaceous trees; locally in steppe zones (in flood-plain forests, field-protecting forest belts, gardens and parks) and also in Central Asia in irrigation zones. The pest mainly occupies adult and old trees and frequently trees damaged by machines. In all zones of fruit growing the species belongs to the main orchard pests although the quantitative data on its harmful activity is not numerous. For example, in Ukraine the pest, together with the Leopard Moth, can populate up to 15% of fruit trees (Rafal.skii, 1975). The gradual increase of weakened trees populated by the pest compels facilities to carry out premature stubbing of gardens. Insecticide treatments of fruit trees in summer against a complex of lepidopteran pests also reduce the numbers of this pest (Zhemchuzhina & Stenina, 2001).

Method of map production:

Scientists were given maps with boundaries of Oblasts and arable lands. After reviewing historic literature, species distribution was hand drawn on maps. If data were on the Oblast-level, distribution is on the Oblast level. In some cases, Oblast.s are further refined by boundaries of the Arable Land Map (Koroljeva et al., 2003). Hand drawn maps were scanned, georeferenced and vectorized. The Goat Moth area was outlined according to the following reference data on the species distribution: Kuznetsov & Martynova (1954), Kondakov (1963), Batiashvili (1965), Krasil.nikova (1967), Rudnev (1974) Rafal.skii (1975), Savkovskii (1976), Vasil.ev & Livshits (1984), Zagulyaev (1978, 1994), Derzhavets et al. (1986), Kutenkova (1986), Chistyakov (1988, 1999), Kostyuk (1994), Bogolyubov & Kravchenko (2002), Anufriev & Bayanov (2002). It is distributed in the European part from the Caucasus to the northern border of distribution of deciduous trees, in Transcaucasia, Southern Siberia, Northern Kazakhstan, Central Asia, in the south of the Far East (Amur Region, Khabarovsk and Primorskii Territories); in mountain areas it reaches the upper border of forests. The northern border of the species area was drawn along the northern border of deciduous and mixed forests (Chikov, 1983). In the European part it was adjusted northward to southern areas of Karelia and Komi based on the following sources: Kullberg et al. (2001), Charushina & Shernin (1974), Sedykh (1974). High mountains and desert lands of the Caspian Depression, the Caucasus, and Central Asia were excluded from the area. Near the northern border of the area and in Siberia the species is known locally. The zone of low pest damage includes all zones of fruit growing in the territory of the former USSR based on the following sources: Batiashvili (1965), Krasil.nikova (1967), Rudnev (1974), Rafal.skii (1975), Savkovskii (1976), Smol.yannikov (1979), Vasil.ev & Livshits (1984), Chistyakov (1988). It was adjusted along areas of industrial cultivation of fruit crops (Tochenov, 1984).
