  • 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.

  • Bracken Fern (Pteridium Aquilinum (L.) Kuhn) Overgrowth on Dry Alpine Grassland Impedes Red List Orthoptera but Supports Local Orthopteran Beta Diversity
    Journal of Insect Conservation https://doi.org/10.1007/s10841-021-00333-8 ORIGINAL PAPER Bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum (L.) Kuhn) overgrowth on dry Alpine grassland impedes Red List Orthoptera but supports local orthopteran beta diversity Jürg Schlegel1 · Matthias Riesen1 Received: 2 January 2021 / Accepted: 8 June 2021 © The Author(s) 2021 Abstract The native bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum (L.) Kuhn) has become increasingly invasive in abandoned or undergrazed Alpine grasslands. Bracken stands are generally assumed to be poor in species, but there is still very little information about the impact on the fauna. We recorded Orthoptera communities of 24 sample plots with varying bracken cover. Compared to plots with only sparse or medium bracken cover, species richness was highly signifcantly lower in densely overgrown plots, while the former two did not difer markedly. Multivariate ordination analyses revealed gradients with unequal orthopteran communities, showing distinct patterns of bracken cover clustering. Based on indicator values, 13 of 23 Orthoptera species turned out to be signifcantly or marginally signifcantly associated with a single bracken cover stratum or a combination of two strata, whereby all nine Red List species were primarily restricted to sparse or medium bracken cover. However, some generalist species were found to favor denser bracken stands, such as Tettigonia viridissima, contributing to the local Orthoptera beta diversity. Our data suggest that ongoing rotational sheep grazing with temporary paddocks is regarded as the most preferable management system. However, selected parts of the study area, which have only sparse vegetation and no pressure of bracken or scrub overgrowth, are recommended to be alternately left ungrazed for a few years to allow for the coexistence of diferent successional stages.

Although female-biased 16 SSD predominates among insects, the proximate ecological and evolutionary factors promoting 17 this phenomenon remain largely unstudied. Here, we employ modern phylogenetic comparative 18 methods on 8 subfamilies of Iberian grasshoppers (85 species) to examine the validity of 19 different models of evolution of body size and SSD and explore how they are shaped by a suite 20 of ecological variables (habitat specialization, substrate use, altitude) and/or constrained by 21 different evolutionary pressures (female fecundity, strength of sexual selection, length of the 22 breeding season).

  • Population, Ecology and Morphology of Saga Pedo (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) at the Northern Limit of Its Distribution

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 mean numbers and relative abundance of species in present S.

  • 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)).

Globally, populations have suffered dramatic declines during the past two centuries. Recently, local populations have stabilized or increased after hunting bans and conservation efforts. Despite positive trends the species is still classified by IUCN as vulnerable (VU), mainly due to withdrawals in the distribution. The limited distribution emphasizes the need for finding “new” areas suitable for a translocation or reintroduction. This thesis investigates the history of the great bustard in Sweden and analyses suitable habitats, current bustard conservation methods, and socioeconomic impacts of a reintroduction.

The nymphs molted 5 times and became adults in about 45 days in nature. In both sexes, sexual maturity was attained about 3 weeks after emergence and oviposition started 8-1 0 days after sexual maturity. M. borealis is primarily a forb feeder as its mandibular morphology indicates but it also developed and reproduced exclusively on Gramineae in the laboratory.

The ecological preferences and bioacoustics of bush-crickets, crickets and grasshoppers species were studied in middle and lower Prut River basin, a research conducted in 55 localities from Romania and 33 localities in the Republic of Moldova. A total number of 91 species of Orthoptera were collected in the study area: 85 species encountered on the western side of Prut River basin (9 Phaneropteridae, 24 Tettigoniidae, 1 Bradyporidae, 5 Gryllidae, 1 Gryllotalpidae, 1 Tridactylidae, 5 Tetrigidae, 39 Acrididae) and 76 species found on the eastern side (7 Phaneropteridae, 19 Tettigoniidae, 1 Bradyporidae, 5 Gryllidae, 1 Gryllotalpidae, 1 Tridactylidae, 3 Tetrigidae, 39 Acrididae). Four species are recorded for the first time in the Orthoptera fauna of the Republic of Moldova:Barbitistes constrictus (Fabricius), Poecilimon fussii Brunner von Wattenwyl, Metrioptera roeselii fedtschenkoi (Saussure) and Pholidoptera frivaldskyi (Herman).
