Markina T. Theoretical basis of homeostasis maintenance in artificial insect populations and control their condition.

Object - the structural organization of the artificial insect populations, their homeostatic properties. The goal - a theoretical and experimental study of mechanisms for maintaining homeostasis of artificial insect populations to develop the methods to optimize the structural parameters of crops and quality control of biological material in accordance with the objectives of the breeding program. Methods - experimental, statistical. The results of long-term comprehensive research of homeostatic properties manifestation in artificial insect populations at prolonged cultivation on examples of silkworm (Bombyx mori L.), gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L.) and grain moth (Sitotroga cerealella Oliv.) are presented. It was found, that artificial populations keep the diversity by the main structural parameters and manifest the expression of mechanisms for self-preservation under selection and stress factors pressure. The Rule of dependence of taxes manifestation on insect populations' viability was experimentally proved and new approach to their quality control at implementation of technical entomology programs was developed. The methods of optimization of artificial insect populations have been developed based on mechanisms of homeostasis maintenance through regulation of parameters of spatial, age, sexual, ecological and genetic structure of these populations. These methods give the possibility to increase viability and productivity of biomaterial. Application spheres are environmental management, silkworm breeding, entomology technical, educational process.
