Abstract

Climatic changes and anthropogenic impact on natural ecosystems result in the growth of locust populations. The general characteristic of the spatial distribution of the Moroccan (Dociostaurus maroccanus Thunb.), Italian (Calliptamus italicus L.), and Asian migratory (Locusta migratoria migratoria L.) locusts in Turkmenistan are given.
