Abstract The paper describes the diversity of invertebrates belonging to dendro-, horto-, and herpetobionts in conditions of Specially Protected Natural Territory «Sosnovaya Rosha» in the city of Yoshkar-Ola, Republic of Mari El Russia. The diversity of invertebrates in different biotopes of the studied protected territory was 323 species: 3 species of Chilopoda; 63, Arachnida with prevalence of Aranei; and 257, Insecta with prevalence of Coleoptera. The variety of consortive relations may indicate resistance of the cenopopulation of the consortium determinant to adverse conditions. The diversity and abundance of hortobionts is determined by the type of the herbaceous community. The abundance of animals and the number of dominant groups of the soil herpetobionts depend on the location of the protected territory in the vicinity of Yoshkar-Ola, on soil composition and phytocenosis composition, on ontogeny stages, and on climatic factors. Heterogeneity of conditions of different biotopes in the forest park «Sosnovaya Rosha» contributes to an increase in the diversity of groups of invertebrates along the vertical gradient of a community (herpetobionts, hortobionts, and dendrobionts), which may preserve the stability of the community under the impact of anthropogenic factors.
