Tóm tắt

The formation of orthopteran communities in the mountains of southwestern Tajikistan is described, with their seasonal dynamics characterized on the basis of counts. It is shown that the dominance structure changes with altitude. The valleys and slopes of different altitudinal belts play an important role in the formation of communities of orthopteran insects.
