title: ECOLOGICAL AND FAUNAL REVIEW RHOPALOCERA IN THE TERRITORY OF THE SOUTH-EASTERN PART OF THE CRIMEA
abstract: The research results provided original data on the Rhopalocera species composition, ecological and biological features, and Rhopalocera population structure, of the south-eastern part of the peninsula, which live in some open biocenoses. The role of Rhopalocera representatives in the ecosystem is twofold: representatives of the family act as pests at some stages of development, and as beneficial pollinators of flowering plants at others, which affects the development of the ecosystem as a whole.
