The existence of the caribou warble flies population during the different phases of their living is determined by the ecological factors. At one phase the controlling factor is the temperature, at other phases it is humidity, insolation, wind power etc. All of these factors influence on the population of this particular type of insects through the related interaction.
Due to this, the studying of combinations of ecological factors totally and systematically influencing on the condition and growth of О. tarandi species is the issue of major importance that gives the opportunity to make a long-term forecast of changes in the population of caribou warble flies.
The set of all physical conditions influencing on the researched insects can be related to abiotic factors. We are examining the main of them such as temperature, illumination, wind, soil factors, humidity and rainfall.
Moreover, the climate itself and ever-changing weather conditions have significant influence on the insects.
