Date of creation:

29.03.2005.

Scale:

1:20 000 000.

Accuracy of map:

Map was created based on materials of map of natural scale 1:33 000 000.

Projection:

"Alber's Equal Area Conic of USSR", 9, 1001, 1, 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:

The insect area was divided into zones of high, moderate and low damage using the following materials: Zhukovskii (1932), Shapiro (1963), Kuznetsova (1964). The zone of high damage includes regions that are characterized by periodical damage up to 35% or more plants; the zone of moderate damage, corresponding to 15 to 35% of plants; and the zone of low damage, corresponding to 15% plants and less.

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. Hand drawn maps were scanned, georeferenced and vectorized. The borders of zones of different harmfulness were prepared using criteria that were published according to the following sources: Selivanova (1946), Pavlov (1959), Shapiro (1963), Kuznetsova (1964), Ryabchenko et al. (1986). The northern border was determined based on the following published materials: Chukanova (1976), Agafonova et al. (1977), on the data of expeditions and also on the data taken from suction traps, yellow sticky traps and caps of Moerike. The distribution of plant hosts was according to the Atlas of the USSR vegetation (cereal cultures), taking into account the temperature preference of the insect (the insects are cold resistant). The vector map of the distribution of arable lands within the territory of the Former Soviet Union was also used for the correction of damage zones (Koroleva et al., 2003).
