Mapping method for research of arctic ocean European sector beetles

Obtained during reporting period important results are considered as new for science. Up to now there were not any publications describing species composition of fauna and ground beetles of European area of Arctic ocean during the whole season. It is ground beetles that represents bright indication of ecological situation change in circumpolar region. For the first time we compiled a close to comprehensive list of ground beetles species inhabiting Solovetskiy archipelago, Vaigach Island, Kolguev Island and Yamal peninsula. A structure of this family inhabitants' representatives in all biocenoses where ground beetles can inhabit were analysed. For this purpose the information system was created. Use of mapping method provided data inputting into the information system shortly. 4600 forms were processed for 6 work days what allowed biologists begin analysing obtained results immediately after that.
