Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract. Korganbek K, Esenbekova P. 2024. Fauna of arboreal Hemiptera in South-Eastern Kazakhstan. Biodiversitas 25: 3460-3467. Arboreal hemipterans are a part of the living world, occupying a special place in natural food chain and contact with many living organisms in nature. The purpose of the research is to study and describe the fauna of arboreal hemipterans in the South-Eastern Kazakhstan region. This research was conducted according to various methods generally accepted in the field of entomology. Also materials were processed in laboratory conditions. Samples were collected from 48 locations in South-Eastern Kazakhstan. In total, 939 specimens were collected, including 442 males (47%), 429 females (46%) and 68 nymphs (7%). As a result of the study, 57 species of arboreal hemipterans belonging to 9 families were identified in South-Eastern Kazakhstan. They are Miridae (15 species), Pentatomidae (11 species), Acanthosomatidae (8 species), Lygaeidae (7 species), Anthocoridae (6 species), Nabidae (4 species), Aradidae (4 species), Reduviidae (3 species), Tingidae (2 species). In addition, the article provides information about the nutritional relationships, the number of generations they give per year (voltinism), and the habitats of arboreal hemipterans. Information about the biology of arboreal hemipterans plays an important role in assessing the stability of the biodiversity in the area where they live.
