  • Diet-Mixing in a Generalist Herbivore: Trade-Offs Between Nutrient And
    DIET-MIXING IN A GENERALIST HERBIVORE: TRADE-OFFS BETWEEN NUTRIENT AND ALLELOCHEMICAL REGULATION A Dissertation by MARION LE GALL Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Spencer Behmer Committee Members, Micky Eubanks Keyan Zhu-Salzman Gil Rosenthal Jon Harrison Head of Department, David Ragsdale May 2014 Major Subject: Entomology Copyright 2014 Marion Le Gall ABSTRACT Despite decades of research, many key aspects related to the physiological processes and mechanisms insect herbivores use to build themselves remain poorly understood, and we especially know very little about how interactions among nutrients and allelochemicals drive insect herbivore growth processes. Understanding the physiological effects of these interactions on generalist herbivores is a critical step to a better understanding and evaluation of the different hypothesis that have been emitted regarding the benefits of polyphagy. I used both lab and field experiments to disentangle the respective effect of protein, carbohydrates and allelochemicals on a generalist herbivore, the grasshopper Melanoplus differentialis. The effect of protein and carbohydrates alone were examined using artificial diets in choice and no-choice experiments. Results were plotted using a fitness landscape approach to evaluate how protein-carbohydrate ratio and/or concentration affected performance and consumption. Growth was best near the self-selected ratio obtained from the choice experiment, most likely due to the fact that the amount of food digested was also higher on that ratio. By contrast, development time was not best near the preferred ratio most likely due to the trade-off existing between size and development time.

  • SEVEN PREVIOUSLY UNDOCUMENTED ORTHOPTERAN SPECIES in LUNA COUNTY, NEW MEXICO Niccole D
    International Journal of Science, Environment ISSN 2278-3687 (O) and Technology, Vol. 10, No 4, 2021, 105 – 115 2277-663X (P) SEVEN PREVIOUSLY UNDOCUMENTED ORTHOPTERAN SPECIES IN LUNA COUNTY, NEW MEXICO Niccole D. Rech1*, Brianda Alirez2 and Lauren Paulk2 1Western New Mexico University, Deming, New Mexico 2Early College High School, Deming, New Mexico E-mail: [email protected] (*Corresponding Author) Abstract: The Chihuahua Desert is the largest hot desert (BWh) in North America. Orthopterans are an integral part of desert ecosystems. They include grasshoppers, katydids and crickets. A large section of the Northern Chihuahua Desert is in Luna County, New Mexico. There is a dearth of information on the Orthopterans in this area. Between May and October of 2020, sixty adult grasshoppers, two katydids and one camel cricket were captured from a 5-hectare (ha) area at base of the Florida Mountains, which is the extreme southern portion of Luna County. Luna County was in a severe drought during 2020. The insects were identified using several taxonomic keys (Cigliano, Braun, Eades & Otte, 2018; Guala & Doring, 2019; Triplehorn & Johnson, 2005; Richman, Lightfoot, Sutherland & Fergurson, 1993, Otte, 1984, 1981; Tinkham, 1944). A previous New Mexico State University (NMSU) survey from 1993 had only documented grasshoppers in the Acrididae and Romaleidae families. The objective of this continuing study is to identify and document all species of Orthopterans found in Luna County, and correlate the populations with changing weather patterns. In this portion of the study, the majority of Orthopterans captured were Leprus wheeleri (Thomas), a previously documented specie. However, seven undocumented species were also captured.

    Invertebrate Distribution and Diversity Assessment at the U. S. Army Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site A report to the U. S. Army and U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service G. J. Michels, Jr., J. L. Newton, H. L. Lindon, and J. A. Brazille Texas AgriLife Research 2301 Experiment Station Road Bushland, TX 79012 2008 Report Introductory Notes The invertebrate survey in 2008 presented an interesting challenge. Extremely dry conditions prevailed throughout most of the adult activity period for the invertebrates and grass fires occurred several times throughout the summer. By visual assessment, plant resources were scarce compared to last year, with few green plants and almost no flowering plants. Eight habitats and nine sites continued to be sampled in 2008. The Ponderosa pine/ yellow indiangrass site was removed from the study after the low numbers of species and individuals collected there in 2007. All other sites from the 2007 survey were included in the 2008 survey. We also discontinued the collection of Coccinellidae in the 2008 survey, as only 98 individuals from four species were collected in 2007. Pitfall and malaise trapping were continued in the same way as the 2007 survey. Sweep net sampling was discontinued to allow time for Asilidae and Orthoptera timed surveys consisting of direct collection of individuals with a net. These surveys were conducted in the same way as the time constrained butterfly (Papilionidea and Hesperoidea) surveys, with 15-minute intervals for each taxanomic group. This was sucessful when individuals were present, but the dry summer made it difficult to assess the utility of these techniques because of overall low abundance of insects.

  • Rangeland Grasshoppers of Concern to Management of The
    Rangeland Grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acrididae) of Concern to Management of the Columbia River Basin 30 December 1994 William P. Kemp USDA/ARS Rangeland insect Laboratory Bozeman, MT 59717-0366 Voice: 406-994-6473 Facsimile: 406-994-3566 Internet: [email protected] 1 Biogeography and habitat associations of grasshoppers as a functional group RANGELAND GRASSHOPPERS (Orthoptera: Acrididae) represent a very complex collection of herbivores that interact in space and time. Of the hundreds of grasshopper species present in North America, roughly 200 inhabit grasslands. Further, at a given location, it is not uncommon to find as many as 15 or more grasshopper species over the course of the spring and summer months. Although some species are separated to an extent by differences in phenology, there is considerable overlap of species at a given site during the course of the summer. In spite of the volume of studies conducted on individual species of Acrididae (e.g., Uvarov 1966, 1977; Chapman & Joern 1990), little work has been done on macroscale grasshopper species associations (see Joern [1982] for microhabitat selection). There has been much historical debate in ecology concerning the organization of communities, and arguments have focused on two divergent concepts. Following the work of Clements (1916), a number of studies have argued that communities are highly integrated and that species are interdependent (e.g., MacArthur 1972, Diamond 1986, Grant 1986). Alternatively, there are a number of studies that follow the general model developed by Gleason (1917, 1926), which suggest that communities are merely a facultative mix of unrelated, yet coexisting, species (e.g., Whittaker 1956, 1960).

  • Arizona Wildlife Notebook
    ARIZONA WILDLIFE CONSERVATION ARIZONA WILDLIFE NOTEBOOK GARRY ROGERS Praise for Arizona Wildlife Notebook “Arizona Wildlife Notebook” by Garry Rogers is a comprehensive checklist of wildlife species existing in the State of Arizona. This notebook provides a brief description for each of eleven (11) groups of wildlife, conservation status of all extant species within that group in Arizona, alphabetical listing of species by common name, scientific names, and room for notes. “The Notebook is a statewide checklist, intended for use by wildlife watchers all over the state. As various individuals keep track of their personal observations of wildlife in their specific locality, the result will be a more selective checklist specific to that locale. Such information would be vitally useful to the State Wildlife Conservation Department, as well as to other local agencies and private wildlife watching groups. “This is a very well-documented snapshot of the status of wildlife species – from bugs to bats – in the State of Arizona. Much of it should be relevant to neighboring states, as well, with a bit of fine-tuning to accommodate additions and deletions to the list. “As a retired Wildlife Biologist, I have to say Rogers’ book is perhaps the simplest to understand, yet most comprehensive in terms of factual information, that I have ever had occasion to peruse. This book should become the default checklist for Arizona’s various state, federal and local conservation agencies, and the basis for developing accurate local inventories by private enthusiasts as well as public agencies. "Arizona Wildlife Notebook" provides a superb starting point for neighboring states who may wish to emulate Garry Rogers’ excellent handiwork.

Many species are phytophagous, feeding directly on plants; filling the primary consumer role of moving energy stored in plants to organisms that are unable to digest plant material (Triplehorn and Johnson 2005). Insects are responsible for a majority of the pollination that occurs and pollination relationships between host plant and pollinator can be very general with one pollinator pollinating many species of plant or very specific with both the plant and the pollinator dependant on each other for survival (Triplehorn and Johnson 2005). Insects can be mutualist, commensal, parasitic or predatory to the benefit or detriment

    Studies on the eggs of the grasshopper species Aulocara elliotti Thos. by George R Roemhild A THESIS Submitted to the Graduate Faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Entomology at Montana State College Montana State University © Copyright by George R Roemhild (1961) Abstract: Various aspects of the biology and physiology of the egg of the grasshopper species, Aulocara elliotti Thos., have been investigated. Eggs from three different populations were used for these studies. Mean weight for all the eggs was 15.4 milligrams. Mean weights for the eggs from the three populations were 16.0, 14.5 and 14.2 milligrams. The mean number of eggs per pod was 8.1 for all pods collected. The mean number of eggs per pod for the three populations were 8.9, 8.3 and 7.1 There was a significant difference in the weights of the eggs from the three populations when adjustments were made for the number of eggs per pod. Respiration of eggs from the three different populations was studied in relation to effects of moisture and temperature. It was found that eggs of this species respire through the entire cuticle. Isolated embryos and yolk respired at a higher rate than did the egg from which they came if the egg was in diapause but respired at a lower rate than the egg from which they came if the egg was not in diapause. The respiration rate of eggs was measured from 5°C to 45°C and characteristic responses to temperature were noted.
