摘要

The Curculionoidea superfamily consists of approximately 62,000 species worldwide and 1700 species in Türkiye. These species are considered highly specialized phytophagous insects. Some are agricultural and forest pests, while others contribute to weed control or help detect desertification. Therefore, understanding the abundance and diversity of native Curculionoidea species across different ecosystems, as well as designing and implementing specific measures to prevent or manage their damage, is essential. In this study, we investigated the species composition, abundance, and diversity of the Curculionoidea community in various ecosystems distributed across the eastern Black Sea and northeastern Anatolia of Türkiye from 2010 to 2013. A total of 5580 individuals belonging to 32 species across two families were collected (2798 in 2010, 704 in 2011, 1314 in 2012, and 1764 in 2013). Of these, 3350 belonged to Curculionidae (1890 males; 1460 females) and 2230 belonged to Rhynchitidae (1180 males; 1050 females). The highest levels of abundance and diversity of Curculionoidea were observed during the early summer period, followed by the summer and autumn periods, respectively. Among the different ecosystems, the agroecosystem (fruit orchards) exhibited a higher abundance of Curculionoidea in the early summer, while the forest ecosystem (forest plants) showed higher diversity (H′) during both the early summer and summer periods. This study enhances our understanding of Curculionoidea biodiversity in Türkiye and provides a foundation for conservation planning and integrated pest management strategies in vulnerable ecosystems.
