The thesis discusses the distribution areas of non-parasitic synanthropic insects adapted to the climatic conditions of the Khorezm Oasis, their potential harmful effects on human life and economic activity, and the methods used to study them.
Synanthropic insects are species that live in close association with environments modified by human activity. They are mainly found in residential buildings, food storage facilities, livestock shelters, markets, gardens, waste accumulation areas, and other anthropogenic habitats. The study of these insects is important for determining their ecological significance, assessing sanitary conditions, preventing excessive reproduction, and developing preventive measures against harmful species. The thesis describes the main habitats of synanthropic insects, research materials, and basic methods of collecting, observing, preserving, and identifying insect specimens. Special attention is paid to field observation, manual collection, entomological nets, different types of traps, laboratory identification, and comparative ecological assessment.
