Vector map. Area of species distribution is shown by polygons. Zones of pest damage are shown by polygons.Accuracy of classifier:
The insect area is divided into zones of high and low damage based on published materials (Sokol'nikova, 1979, 1980). The zone of high damage includes regions that are characterized by having 25 or more insects on one flower rosette; the zone of low damage is characterized by pest numbers from 3-4 (economical threshold) to 24 insects on one rosette.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. Materials of VIZR expeditions was also used. 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 borders of zones of different harmfulness were determined according to the following sources: Shchegolev (1960), Vasil'ev et al. (1973), Sokol'nikova (1979, 1980), Migulin (1983). The northern border was determined according to the following sources: Osmolovskii (1955), Shaposhnikov (1964), the data of VIZR expeditions, and data from a suction trap. The results of the analysis of host (apple- trees) spreading was used according to the atlas of USSR vegetation, taking into account the temperature preference of this insect. The map of apple tree distribution within the territory of the Former Soviet Union has also been used for the correction of the borders of damage zones (Tochenov et al., 1984).Reference citations:
