THE EFFECT OF ANTHROPOGENIC FACTORS ON THE FAUNA OF INSECTS OF THE RIGHT GENUS (ORTHOPTERA)
Abstract
This article provides an in-depth scientific analysis of the ecological, morphological, ethological, and population-level effects of anthropogenic factors on the fauna of Orthoptera insects. Orthopterans are essential components of natural ecosystems, playing significant roles in vegetation stability, food chain structure, and agricultural ecosystem productivity. Human-induced landscape alterations, chemical pollution, agricultural intensification, and urbanization exert considerable influence on species composition, population density, trophic interactions, and phenology of this insect group. The study highlights reductions, migrations, invasive behaviors, and adaptive changes within Orthoptera populations under increasing anthropogenic pressure. The results demonstrate that regulating anthropogenic impact, implementing ecological monitoring, and applying biotechnical measures are crucial for maintaining the population stability of Orthopteran insects.Keywords
