Abstract

Seasonal dynamics and species composition of bloodsucking dipterans were analyzed: in the subtaiga forest, northern forest-steppe, pine forest, and the southern forest-steppe of Novosibirsk Province. The regions examined differed in their climatic and hydrological conditions as well as in the abundance and the number of species of bloodsucking dipterans. Mosquitoes formed a large component of bloodsucking dipterans and prevailed everywhere except the taiga and the northern forest steppe, where the horseflies were dominant. The lowest abundance and the smallest number of mosquito species were observed in the southern forest-steppe, where the climatic and hydrological conditions were unsuitable for development of their preimaginal phases.
