Habitat Characterisation of Chrysopa Leach, 1815 Genus in the Amanos Mountains
Abstract
We analyzed habitat requirements and characterisation of Chrysopa genus Leach 1815 (Neuroptera:Chrysopidae) in the Amanos Mountains. The genus habitat characterisation and preferring poorly known, although they play a vital role as biological agents in ecology, and have great potential significance as biological indicators for assessing habitat quality. This genus has been found at 102 locations with 344 specimens, standing pine trees, characterized by large diameter, but avoided trees in north locations. This paper represents a first Pioneer step towards elucidating an habitat-based interaction of biological integrity for lacewings interaction assessment. This study was carried out to the impact of habitat quality and characterisation on the Chrysopa genus and abundancy of the different forest and several vegetation systems.
