Coastal Popuiations of the Wartbiter to Biotope

Deze dieren hadden minimale afmetingen en waren vrijwel altijd van een donker-blauwgroene kleur. Het analis-cubitalis foto of veld (a, 5) was eveneens donkergroen, zeer don- kerbruin.

In 1992 moest ik deze veronderstelling laten vallen: in dat jaar bezocht ik grote delen van het schiereiland Thy en hoorde duizenden wrattenbijters sjirpen. Ze kwamen in verschillende biotopen voor, waren heel gevarieerd van kleur en hadden behoorlijke afmetingen.

Population, Ecology and Morphology of Saga Pedo (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) at the Northern Limit of Its Distribution
Eur. J. Entomol. 104: 73–79, 2007 http://www.eje.cz/scripts/viewabstract.php?abstract=1200 ISSN 1210-5759 Population, ecology and morphology of Saga pedo (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) at the northern limit of its distribution ANTON KRIŠTÍN and PETER KAĕUCH Institute of Forest Ecology, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Štúrova 2, 960 53 Zvolen, Slovakia; e-mail: [email protected] Key words. Tettigoniidae, survival strategies, endangered species, large insect predators, ecological limits Abstract. The bush-cricket Saga pedo, one of the largest predatory insects, has a scattered distribution across 20 countries in Europe. At the northern boundary of its distribution, this species is most commonly found in Slovakia and Hungary. In Slovakia in 2003–2006, 36 known and potentially favourable localities were visited and at seven this species was recorded for the first time. This species has been found in Slovakia in xerothermic forest steppes and limestone grikes (98% of localities) and on slopes (10–45°) with south-westerly or westerly aspects (90%) at altitudes of 220–585 m a.s.l. (mean 433 m, n = 20 localities). Most individuals (66%) were found in grass-herb layers 10–30 cm high and almost 87% within 10 m of a forest edge (oak, beech and hornbeam being prevalent). The maximum density was 12 nymphs (3rd–5th instar) / 1000 m2 (July 4, 510 m a.s.l.). In a comparison of five present and previous S. pedo localities, 43 species of Orthoptera were found in the present and 37 in previous localities.

THE CURRENT STATUS of ORTHOPTEROID INSECTS in BRITAIN and IRELAND by Peter G
THE CURRENT STATUS OF ORTHOPTEROID INSECTS IN BRITAIN AND IRELAND by Peter G. Sutton, Björn C. Beckmann & Brian Nelson INTRODUCTION This article provides an overview of the changes that have occurred within the orthopteroid fauna of Britain and Ireland since the last distribution atlas was published in 1997 (Haes & Harding, 1997). It provides the current IUCN status of the scarce and threatened species in Britain in accordance with their recent reassessment (Sutton, 2015a) and discusses the future prognosis for this group of insects in Britain and Ireland. It also highlights recent developments of the Orthoptera Recording Scheme with particular reference to the collection of distribution map data using new technologies. Changes to the orthopteroid fauna of Britain and Ireland have been assessed in the landmark publications by Ragge (1965), Marshall & Haes (1988), Haes & Harding (1997) and more recently, Benton (2012), and have also been comprehensively reviewed by Marshall (1974, 2001, 2010). In addition, a regular and ongoing summary of these changes has been provided by the Grasshoppers and Relatives section of British Wildlife magazine (Haes, 1990‒1995; Widgery 1995‒2002; Sutton, 2002‒2016), and in the Orthoptera Recording Scheme newsletters (1‒22 (Haes, 1979‒1995); 23‒28 (Widgery, 1996‒2002) and 29‒33 (Beckmann & Sutton, 2013‒2016)).

First European Congress on Orthoptera Conservation 14
First European Congress on Orthoptera Conservation 14. Heuschreckentagung Trier, 18 – 20 March 2016 Venue You may reach Trier either by train, car or bus. A free parking is available in front of Campus II. The next airports are Luxembourg Findel, Frankfurt Hahn (note that this airport is closer to Trier than to Frankfurt and mainly used by Ryanair) or Saarbrücken. During weekends, a direct bus connection between the city center and campus 2 exists only for Saturdays. In this case, bus line 85 leaves the city center hourly between 10:10 a.m. and 19:10 p.m (bus station "Porta nigra"). A return to the city center is possible hourly between 09:59 a.m. and 18:59 p.m. Campus 2 can be reached earlier/later, more frequent and on Sundays by the bus line 83, bus station “Kohlenstraße”. Note that you have to calculate a ten minute walk from the bus station to campus 2. Both bus lines drive along the central train station. For detailed information please refer the bus schedule that is put up at the conference info board. Trier University, Campus 2, HZ building. 1 Welcome Dear participants, It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the 14th Annual Meeting of the German Society of Orthopterology (14. Jahrestagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Orthopterologie, DGfO) and the First European Congress on Orthoptera Conservation (Grasshopper Specialist Group, GSG). The host institution, Trier University, has a focus on humanities and social sciences. However environmental sciences are strongly represented in the Faculty of Regional and Environmental Sciences, including the Department of Biogeography. -
Bush-Cricket Decticus Albifrons Reach About 200 Kilometers Further to the North
TERENSKA NOTICA / FIELD NOTE 57 Unexpected record of the white-faced from the Slovenian coastal area (Gomboc 2003, Us 1992) bush-cricket Decticus albifrons reach about 200 kilometers further to the north. The geographic distance between the Slovenian coast and (Fabricius, 1775) (Orthoptera: Ljubljana does not seem to be too great a hindrance for Tettigoniidae) in Ljubljana, Central such a big and mobile insect. A more serious barrier pose Slovenia the high, forested mountain ridges and cold, wet valleys lying in between. Moreover, given the proximity of the main railway station, an accidental transport by train from NEPRIČAKOVANA NAJDBA KOBILICE PRIMORSKE the northern Adriatic area offers a plausible explanation.

That colonization began in more or less the same area close to Peter TRONTELJ, Department of Biology, Biotechnical Faculty, the central railway station. Nevertheless, it is less likely University of Ljubljana, Večna pot 111, SI-1000 Ljubljana, that the white-faced bush-cricket will establish a Slovenia. permanent population here like the cicadas did. It is probably premature to regard this single white-faced bush-cricket record as an indicator or consequence of the recent climatic change. On 17th August, 2004, at about 9 p.m. I heard calls near the central Ljubljana railway station that were quite different from the usual animal sounds of this city. The calls reminded me of the nervous alarm calls of robin (Erithacus rubecula) or blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla). -

A review of the Balkan representatives of the genus Psorodonotus was made with the aim of revealing the relationships between taxa and their systematic arrangement. For this purpose we used morphological (qualitative and quantitavive), acoustic (am- plitude-temporal song parameters) and molecular (mtDnA CoI gene sequence) data. The analyses and comparisons with other taxa of Psorodonotus support the distinction of three species occurring on the Balkan Peninsula: P. fieberi, P. illyricus and P. macedonicus. Analysis of the CoI sequences suggested the following relationships: outgroups + (P. illyricus + (P. fieberi + (P. macedonicus + P. caucasicus))).
