title: [Clustering analysis and optimal cut-apart of arthropod community in megranate orchard].
abstract: Based on the principles of community ecology and by the method of fuzzy clustering, this paper studied the temporal and quantitative dynamics of the arthropod community and sub-community in megranate orchard, aimed to utilize natural enemy resources for pests control. The results showed that both of total community and natural enemy sub-community could be grouped into 4 clusters, and non-natural enemy sub-community could be grouped into 3 clusters. This clustering reflected the complexity of the community structure. The optimal cut-apart could divide the total community and sub-community into 3 stages, i. e., April-August, September-October, and November.
