Keywords:
Pulvinaria salicicola, Pulvinaria vitis, Anapulvinaria pistaciae, NMDS, bioecology.Abstract
In this study, the sensitivity of Pulvinaria salicicola Borchsenius, 1953, Anapulvinaria pistaciae (Bodenheimer, 1926) and Pulvinaria vitis (Linnaeus, 1758) to environmental factors (temperature, humidity, altitude, plant age) was assessed based on NMDS (Non-Metric Multidimensional Scaling) analysis. The results obtained served to identify the main factors affecting the ecological requirements and development of each species. The optimal living conditions of each species were determined.
