Gоlоbоrоd'kо K. Consortive linkage of lycaenid butterflies (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) of upland grass biogeocenosis of the steppe Pridneprov'ye.

The object is Lycaenidae. The aim is to establish a structure and frame of Lycaenidae of a fauna of the steppe Pridneprov'ye as the constituent of consortive linkage in conditionally not changed and anthropogenicly disturbed of upland grass biogeocenosis. Methods - methodological vehicle of analysis of consortive linkage. The consortive linkage of purple molinia (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) of upland grass biogeocenosis of the steppe Pridneprov'ye was analyzed in the given work. It was determined that fauna of the region can be divided into 10 groups according to the biotope classification of Lycaenidae. The position of imago purple molinia in the structure of anthophilos system of individual consortiums of Salvia nutans was studied. Phenological examines leaded allow to mark 5 phenological groups of purple molinia of the steppe Pridneprov'ye. Morphologic characteristic of mouthparts and indicator of imago dry weight was reviewed. It was determined that the time budget wasted for act of feeding depends onthese characteristics but appears species-specific and sex-differentiated. The trophoconsortive linkage of the larva with 13 families of autotrophy in the region was appointed. The topical type of imago consortive linkage and preimaginal phases with autotrophy was studied. The peculiarities of Lycaenidae consortive linkage at anthropogenically affected biogeocenosis of steppe Pridneprov'ye was reviewed. Sphere of use is a training courses.
