Articulata 2012 27 (1/2): 1728 Zoogeographie
© Deutsche Gesellschaft für Orthopterologie e.V.; download http://www.dgfo-articulata.de/; www.zobodat.at ARTICULATA 2012 27 (1/2): 1728 ZOOGEOGRAPHIE Small scale ecological zoogeographic methods in explanation of the distribution patterns of grasshoppers Kenyeres, Z., & Rácz, I.A. Abstract We examined in this study, in a Central-European low mountain range, whether methods of ecological zoogeography can explain better the distribution patterns of grasshopper species and species-groups, than the methods of the historical zoogeography. Our results showed that zoogeographically defined microregions could be specified more precisely by the distribution of species groups of differ- ent eco-types than the distribution of species groups of the different faunal-types. We found that the macroclimate elements and landscape features determine the regional distribution patterns of the orthopteran species and species-groups with similar thermal and humidity requirements. Our case study revealed the impor- tant role of the ecological zoogeography in zoogeographical analyses of Orthop- tera fauna at small geographical scale. Zusammenfassung Wir haben untersucht, ob man mit ökologisch-tiergeographischen Methoden die Verteilungsmuster von Heuschrecken in einem mitteleuropäischen Mittelgebirge analysieren kann. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Unterschiede auf dem Niveau der Mikroregion bei den Heuschrecken nicht in den Fauna-Typen, son- dern in der Verteilung von Tierarten bzw. Tiergruppen mit unterschiedlichen öko- logischen Ansprüchen zu finden sind. Wir können somit die Elemente des Makro- klimas und die Merkmale der Landschaft identifizieren, die das lokale Vertei- lungsmuster von Artengruppen mit ähnlichen ökologischen Ansprüchen, bezie- hungsweise von bestimmten Tierarten bestimmen. Introduction Questions and methodology in the biogeographical searching have been domi- nated by the conceptions of the historical biogeography for a long time. -
Biochemical Features of Some Insects Species Potential Preys of Predators 3
International Journal of Bio-Technology and Research (IJBTR) ISSN(P): 2249-6858; ISSN(E): 2249-796X Vol. 4, Issue 4, Aug 2014, 1-8 © TJPRC Pvt. Ltd. BIOCHEMICAL FEATURES OF SOME INSECTS SPECIES POTENTIAL PREYS OF PREDATORS NADIA YAHIA1 & BELKACEM BAZIZ, SALAHEDDINE DOUMANDJI2 1Agronomic National Upper School El-Harrach, Algiers, Algeria 2Ornithology Laboratory, Agronomic National Upper School EL-Harrach, Algeria ABSTRACT Mower- net is the technical sampling used on the ground relating to study arthropoda in experimental plots, and in gardens of Agronomic National School El Harrach. Insects category dominates with 1.120 individuals (97.1%) and 55% species (94.7%).Orthoptera are highly mentioned with a number of 856 individuals (74.2%). Gastropoda, Crustacea and Myriapoda, together correspond hardly to 2.9% according to total of captured individuals. Three techniques of biochemical analyses are used in laboratory with the aim to determine nutritive values and so energetic contribution of some insects species considered as potential preys of different predators. Used methods in the present work are the Kjeldhal method for dose ot total nitrogen, Soxhlet method for total lipids and Bertrand method relating to sugars. This analysis shows that proteins rates found in different species vary between 3.5 and 28.4%. For sugars rates found, the weaker is 3.4% while the stronger is 25.5%. For lipids, the recorded contents are about 9.8 and 33.3%. The total energetic contribution brought by the three biochemical components which are, proteins,lipids,and total sugars is estimated at 4.56 Kcal by female of Aiolopus thalassinus until 13.77 Kcal by male of Aiolopus strepens. -

Crystal Cave in Kutztown, Pennsylvania, was discovered in 1871 while quarrying for limestone (Stone 1953). Crystal Cave is developed in a belt of Ordovician-age limestone and has an abundance of formations. The cave is about 110 m in extent with an upper level, and access is restricted by a blockhouse (Stone 1953). Crystal Cave is the oldest continually-operating commercial cave in the state, opening for a Grand Illumination in 1872 (Crystal Cave History 2010). It currently hosts about 75,000 visitors a year (K. Campbell, personal communication). Early visitors were guided using candles, oil, and kerosene lanterns, and for a grand lighting, kerosene was spilled onto flowstone and set ablaze to illuminate some of the larger rooms (Snyder 2000). By 1919, the cave was lit with battery-powered lights, and in 1929 5000 feet of wiring with 225 light bulbs was installed. In 1974 new concealed wiring was installed with indirect sealed-beam spotlights (Snyder 2000). Crystal Cave has been heavily impacted by humans, and it showed. Soroka and Lavoie (2017) reported on work to clean up the cave to return it to more natural conditions by removal of soot and grime using power washing and scrubbing. -

Nansei Islands Biological Diversity Evaluation Project Report 1 Chapter 1
Introduction WWF Japan’s involvement with the Nansei Islands can be traced back to a request in 1982 by Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh. The “World Conservation Strategy”, which was drafted at the time through a collaborative effort by the WWF’s network, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), posed the notion that the problems affecting environments were problems that had global implications. Furthermore, the findings presented offered information on precious environments extant throughout the globe and where they were distributed, thereby providing an impetus for people to think about issues relevant to humankind’s harmonious existence with the rest of nature. One of the precious natural environments for Japan given in the “World Conservation Strategy” was the Nansei Islands. The Duke of Edinburgh, who was the President of the WWF at the time (now President Emeritus), naturally sought to promote acts of conservation by those who could see them through most effectively, i.e. pertinent conservation parties in the area, a mandate which naturally fell on the shoulders of WWF Japan with regard to nature conservation activities concerning the Nansei Islands. This marked the beginning of the Nansei Islands initiative of WWF Japan, and ever since, WWF Japan has not only consistently performed globally-relevant environmental studies of particular areas within the Nansei Islands during the 1980’s and 1990’s, but has put pressure on the national and local governments to use the findings of those studies in public policy. Unfortunately, like many other places throughout the world, the deterioration of the natural environments in the Nansei Islands has yet to stop. -

Descripción De Nuevas Especies Animales De La Península Ibérica E Islas Baleares (1978-1994): Tendencias Taxonómicas Y Listado Sistemático
Graellsia, 53: 111-175 (1997) DESCRIPCIÓN DE NUEVAS ESPECIES ANIMALES DE LA PENÍNSULA IBÉRICA E ISLAS BALEARES (1978-1994): TENDENCIAS TAXONÓMICAS Y LISTADO SISTEMÁTICO M. Esteban (*) y B. Sanchiz (*) RESUMEN Durante el periodo 1978-1994 se han descrito cerca de 2.000 especies animales nue- vas para la ciencia en territorio ibérico-balear. Se presenta como apéndice un listado completo de las especies (1978-1993), ordenadas taxonómicamente, así como de sus referencias bibliográficas. Como tendencias generales en este proceso de inventario de la biodiversidad se aprecia un incremento moderado y sostenido en el número de taxones descritos, junto a una cada vez mayor contribución de los autores españoles. Es cada vez mayor el número de especies publicadas en revistas que aparecen en el Science Citation Index, así como el uso del idioma inglés. La mayoría de los phyla, clases u órdenes mues- tran gran variación en la cantidad de especies descritas cada año, dado el pequeño núme- ro absoluto de publicaciones. Los insectos son claramente el colectivo más estudiado, pero se aprecia una disminución en su importancia relativa, asociada al incremento de estudios en grupos poco conocidos como los nematodos.

Response of Orthoptera Assemblages to Management of Montane Grasslands in the Western Carpathians
Biologia 66/6: 1127—1133, 2011 Section Zoology DOI: 10.2478/s11756-011-0115-1 Response of Orthoptera assemblages to management of montane grasslands in the Western Carpathians Vladimíra Fabriciusová, Peter Kaňuch &AntonKrištín* Institute of Forest Ecology, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Ľ. Štúra 2,SK-96053 Zvolen, Slovakia; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Montane grassy habitats in the Western Carpathians are relatively well preserved, maintain high species richness and are often important in accordance to the nature conservation policy in Europe. However, knowledge about the impact of farming on the habitat quality there is rather poor. The influence of various management types (permanent sheep pen, irregular grazing, mowing) on Orthoptera diversity and species determining assemblages of these habitats were analysed on 72 plots in Poľana Mts Biosphere Reserve. Altogether, 36 Orthoptera species (15 Ensifera, 21 Caelifera) were found, whereas the highest number of species was found on plots with irregular grazing (28 species), followed by plots with mown grass (17) and permanent sheep pens (14). All four measures of the assemblages’ diversity confirmed significant differences. Using Discriminant Function Analysis, correct classification rate of Orthoptera assemblages was unambiguous according to the type of management. Each form of the management harboured several characteristic species. Thus implications regarding the biodiversity conservation and grassland management were given. Key words: bush-crickets; grasshoppers; pasture; ecology; nature conservation Introduction or the influence of plant succession in meadows without any management (Marini et al. 2009).
