Abstract

The article is dedicated to the memory of Svetlana Dmitrievna Vershinina (1961—2021) and her entomological research. The click beetles (family Elateridae) were S. D. Vershinina’s main scientific interests. The starting point of the research was the resistance of click beetles to toxic effects and the high diversity of Elateridae communities in the industrial gradients. Subsequently, a cycle of studies of the elaterid fauna of the taiga zone of the Urals was carried out, more than 90 species were identified, and the patterns of latitudinal and altitudinal distribution of species were
studied. A series of studies of click beetles from the Kola Peninsula was also carried out. The list of the main works by S. D. Vershinina was presented.
