Abstract

The dynamics of the composition of the Adalia bipunctata L. population in Arkhangelsk for 21 years has been studied. The proportion of black individuals decreased by almost 2 times; the average annual temperature at the same time increased from 1.92° to 2.95°. A comparison of the population composition with the average annual temperature showed that the proportion of black individuals in the population is negatively correlated with the average annual temperature. The observed change in population composition is probably the effect of global warming.
