Map was created based on information taken from open-published literature and maps of scale 1: 33 000 000.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. Areas of distribution and damage coincide, shown by polygon. Single records from Kalmykia, Astrakhan' Region, and Uzbekistan (Urganch) are presented as points.Accuracy of classifier:
First centers of the pest in the Ukraine (Transcarpathia) were found in 1952. Now H. cunea occupies Russia (the south of the European part), Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan (Urganch); it is also found in Lithuania (single instance). The following sources were used to determine these areas: Bulyginskaya & Shamshev (1999), Izhevskii (2002, 2003). Based on the following sources H. cunea has actually occupied its potential area in the European part of the Russian Federation: Vasyutin (2000), Izhevskii (2002, 2003). Slow expansion of the area northward is possible with further climate warming. Appearance of new island areas is possible in the Asian part of the pest potential area (Central Asia, the south of Krasnoyarsk and Primorskii Territories). Occasional detection of the species in Uzbekistan (Bulyginskaya & Shamshev, 1999) testifies to the incompleteness of formation of a H. cunea stable area in this region in contrast to the European part of the former USSR. Earlier the area and zone of high damage coincided (Polyakov et al., 1984). For example, in Transcarpathia in the first years of the invasion the damage to mulberry reached 57.0-60.1%, and damage to fruit cultures 35.2-40.5% (Bulyginskaya & Shamshev, 1999). In this zone the control of H. cunea as a quarantine pest should be carried out without fail (Izhevskii, 2002). At the same time, yield losses caused by this pest in industrial orchards have never been significant. Based on the change of the Fall Webworm quarantine status that has been offered by Izhevskii (2002, 2003) it is only possible to allocate a zone of low damage in the present area. However, the pest is significant in a complex of phyllophagous lepidopteran pests; for the latter ones the economic threshold has been established, being 8-10% damaged buds and 20-25% damaged leaves after bud blossoming (Dolzhenko, 2004).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. According to the following sources the actual (synecological) area includes Moldova, most part of the Ukraine (except Polesye), the Caucasus, and the south of the European part of Russia (southward of Belgorod, Voronezh, and Saratov): Vasil.ev & Livshits (1984), Kazantseva et al. (1997), Vasyutin (2000, 2003), Izhevskii (2003). The distribution area and zone of low damage coincide. They were adjusted in the south along the areas of industrial cultivation of fruit crops (Tochenov, 1984), excluding the high mountains. A single record from Lithuania is referred to the autecological area of H. cunea. Single records from Kalmykia, Astrakhan' Region, and Uzbekistan (Urganch) are presented as points.Reference citations:
