Entomofaunistic studies contain a large number of data regarding the number of
collected species, the number of individuals within species, time of collection, localities,
species biology and morphology natural enemies and hosts. Besides thematic and
temporal components this kind of studies include spatial component which is crucial
for the use of GIS methodology and advanced possibilities of geospatial analysis. During
our studies on jumping plant lice (Psylloidea) fauna and their natural enemies on the
territory of Serbia which lasted for several years, a large number of spatially referenced
data related to this group of insects were collected. The process of collecting, archiving
and classifying the data on each species was improved by applying the GIS methodological
approach after which the data were entered into database. The analysis of data
using thematic and spatial queries, as well as graphic, numeric and textual display of the
results from studies enabled simpler and more complete survey of horizontal and vertical
distribution of jumping plant lice, their biology and relationship with plants, predators
and parasitoids. Istraživanja entomofaune sadrže veliki broj podataka koji se odnose na broj sakupljenih
vrsta, broj jedinki u okviru vrste, vreme sakupljanja, istraživane lokalitete, biologiju i morfologiju
istraživanih vrsta, prirodne neprijatelje i domaćine. Pored tematske i vremenske komponente,
ova istraživanja sadrže i prostornu komponentu, koja je ključna u primeni GIS metodologije
i naprednih mogućnosti geoprostornih analiza. Tokom višegodišnjih sopstvenih
istraživanja faune lisnih buva (Psylloidea) i njihovih prirodnih neprijatelja na prostoru Srbije,
prikupljen je veliki broj prostorno određenih podataka o njima. Proces prikupljanja, arhiviranja
i klasifikovanja podataka o ovoj vrsti unapređen je primenom GIS metodološkog
pristupa pri čemu su ti podaci smešteni u projektovanu bazu podataka. Analizom podataka
putem tematskih i prostornih upita, zatim grafičkim, numeričkim i tekstualnim prikazivanjem
rezultata istraživanja, omogućeno je jednostavnije i celovitije sagledavanje horizontalne
i vertikalne rasprostranjenosti lisnih buva, njihove biologije i odnosa prema biljkama,
predatorima i parazitoidima.
