[Taxonomic composition and landscape-biotopical distribution of black flies (Diptera, Simuliidae) in the Khemchik river basin (Western Tuva)].
Taxonomoc composition and altitude distribution of black flies have been investigated in the top and middle stream of the Khemchik river, Western Tuva. Similarity with adjacent territories by the species composition is revealed. A dependence of the blackfly abundance on the stream characteristics (water temperature, flow velocity, grading of soil, electric conductivity of water, and presence of epibioses), as well as on the hydrobiology characteristics of the localities is shown. The comparison of blackfly complexes from the upper part of the Sayano-Shushenskoe reservoir and the Todzha depression, Tuva, is carried out.
