Fauna of dendrophilous phyllophages in green spaces of urban ecosystems

The article presents a literary review of the fauna of dendrophilous insect phyllophages in the green spaces of urban ecosystems. A significant number of works by both domestic and foreign researchers have been devoted to the study of the entomofauna of green urban areas; however, the data on Volgograd are fragmentary and are devoted to individual groups of insects or individual ecosystems, which indicates the relevance of studying the complex of dendrophilous phyllophages in landscaping plantings in the conditions of our region. The degree of study of the problem is considered, the results of previously published research papers are generalized and systematized, and further prospects for studying the features of the formation of the fauna of green spaces, changes in its composition, and structural characteristics of trophic groups and individual species are determined, which is of significant scientific and practical interest and can be used to ensure a rational approach to the preservation and maintenance of the state of green urban areas.
