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 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.

Box 222, Dschang, Cameroon. ABSTRACT The present study was carried out as a first documentation of short horn grasshoppers in the Menoua Division of Cameroon. A total of 1587 specimens were collected from six sites i.e. Dschang (265), Fokoue (253), Fongo – Tongo (267), Nkong – Ni (271), Penka Michel (268) and Santchou (263). Identification of these grasshoppers showed 28 species that included 22 Acrididae and 6 Pyrgomorphidae. The Acrididae belonged to 8 subfamilies (Acridinae, Catantopinae, Cyrtacanthacridinae, Eyprepocnemidinae, Oedipodinae, Oxyinae, Spathosterninae and Tropidopolinae) while the Pyrgomorphidae belonged to only one subfamily (Pyrgomorphinae). The Catantopinae (Acrididae) showed the highest number of species while Oxyinae, Spathosterninae and Tropidopolinae showed only one species each. Ten Acrididae species (Acanthacris ruficornis, Anacatantops sp, Catantops melanostictus, Coryphosima stenoptera, Cyrtacanthacris aeruginosa, Eyprepocnemis noxia, Gastrimargus africanus, Heteropternis sp, Ornithacris turbida, and Trilophidia conturbata ) and one Pyrgomorphidae (Zonocerus variegatus) were collected in all the six sites.

TREWICK defining feature of the Hexapoda, as the name suggests, is six legs. Also, the body comprises a head, thorax, and abdomen. The number A of abdominal segments varies, however; there are only six in the Collembola (springtails), 9–12 in the Protura, and 10 in the Diplura, whereas in all other hexapods there are strictly 11. Insects are now regarded as comprising only those hexapods with 11 abdominal segments. Whereas crustaceans are the dominant group of arthropods in the sea, hexapods prevail on land, in numbers and biomass. Altogether, the Hexapoda constitutes the most diverse group of animals – the estimated number of described species worldwide is just over 900,000, with the beetles (order Coleoptera) comprising more than a third of these. Today, the Hexapoda is considered to contain four classes – the Insecta, and the Protura, Collembola, and Diplura. The latter three classes were formerly allied with the insect orders Archaeognatha (jumping bristletails) and Thysanura (silverfish) as the insect subclass Apterygota (‘wingless’). The Apterygota is now regarded as an artificial assemblage (Bitsch & Bitsch 2000).

    In Field Margins? a Case Study Combining Laboratory Acute Toxicity Testing with Field Monitoring Data

A CASE STUDY COMBINING LABORATORY ACUTE TOXICITY TESTING WITH FIELD MONITORING DATA REBECCA BUNDSCHUH,* JULIANE SCHMITZ,MIRCO BUNDSCHUH, and CARSTEN ALBRECHT BRU¨ HL Institute for Environmental Sciences, University of Koblenz-Landau, Koblenz-Landau, Germany (Submitted 7 December 2011; Returned for Revision 11 January 2012; Accepted 17 April 2012) Abstract—The current terrestrial risk assessment of insecticides regarding nontarget arthropods considers exclusively beneficial organisms, whereas herbivorous insects, such as grasshoppers, are ignored. However, grasshoppers living in field margins or meadows adjacent to crops may potentially be exposed to insecticides due to contact with or ingestion of contaminated food. Therefore, the present study assessed effects of five active ingredients of insecticides (dimethoate, pirimicarb, imidacloprid, lambda-cyhalothrin, and deltamethrin) on the survival of Chorthippus sp. grasshopper nymphs by considering two routes of exposure (contact and oral). The experiments were accompanied by monitoring field margins that neighbored cereals, vineyards, and orchards. Grasslands were used as reference sites. The laboratory toxicity tests revealed a sensitivity of grasshoppers with regard to the insecticides tested in the present study similar to that of the standard test species used in arthropod risk assessments. In the field monitoring program, increasing grasshopper densities were detected with increasing field margin width next to cereals and vineyards, but densities remained low over the whole range of field margins from 0.5 to 20 m next to orchards. Grasshopper densities equivalent to those of grassland sites were only observed in field margins exceeding 9 m in width, except for field margins next to orchards.

    Response of Orthoptera Assemblages to Management of Montane Grasslands in the Western Carpathians

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.
