USING PROGRAMMING ENVIRONMENT R IN ANALYSIS OF MORPHOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS OF MYRMICA ANGULINODIS RUZS. (INSECTA: HYMENOPTERA: FORMICIDAE) FROM DIFFERENT POPULATIONS OF BAIKAL REGION
The paper describes the programming environment R and its application possibilities for ecological researches, where script writing is the main method. The influence of geographical location of occurrence places of Myrmica angulinodis workers on morphometric characteristics of these species is proved by the use of Shapiro-Wilk test and the method of the single factor ANOVA in programming environment R. The maximum average values of morphometric characteristics of ants are registered in the north of the Republic of Buryatia, while the minimum ones are registered in the south of the Irkutsk region.
