BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES us A Partial Inventory of Populations in Tallgrass Prairie Pastures in North Central Oklahoma ADAIR STONER, Entomology Res. Branch, A. R. S., U. S. D. A., Tucson, Amona D. E. BRYAN, and W. A. DREW, Oklahoma State University INTRODUCTION As part of a rangeland insect ecology program being conducted by the Entomology Department of Oklahoma State University, the insect population of a pasture in the tallgrass prairie north of Lake carl Black­ well was sampled. Samples of the insect population were taken during the growing seasons of 1957, 1958, 1959 and 1960; however, only that por­ tion of the data for 1957 is included in the present paper. Three plot areas were used in this survey: a bottomland, midland, and upland pasture. The locations of two of the plots are in the SE %. SW %. Sec. 31, T. 20 N, R. 1 E Indian Meridian, Noble County, Oklahoma, and the third plot is located in the NW %. NE % Sec. 6, T. 19 N, R. 1 E Indian Meridian, Payne County, Oklahoma. The two sections are adjacent to each other; the north side of section six and the south side of section 31 are contiguous. All plots were on the property of the Hus­ bandry Department, Oklahoma State University, Stlllwater. Without the assistance of many specialists it would not have been possible to make accurate detenninations of many ot the species collected; therefore, our grateful acknOWledgment is extended for the aid of the federal specialists who, at the time, were under the direction of Dr. P. W. Oman: Dr. J. G. Rozen (COLEOPTERA; Orthoperidae, Scaphtdiidae), Dr. R. S. Beal (COLEOPTERA; Phalacridae), Dr. E. A. Chapin (COLEOPTERA; Coccinellidae), Mr. G. B. Vogt (COLEOPTERA; Chrysomelidae), Miss L. M. Walkley (COLEOPTERA; LathridUdae) and (HYMENOPTERA; Ichneumonidae), Dr. W. W. Wirth (DIPTERA; , , ), Dr. R. H. Foote (DIPTERA; , ), Mr. C. W. Sabrosky (DIPTERA; Anthomyzidae, ), Mr. P. D. Ashlock (; Lygaeidae, Nabidae), Miss L. M. Russell (HOMOPTERA; Aleyrodidae, Aphidae), Mr. J. P. Kramer (HOMOPTERA; Cicadellidae), Dr. B. D. Burks (HYMENOP­ TERA; Chalcididae, Elasmidae, Encyrtidae, Eulophtdae, Eupelmidae, Eurytomidae, Mymaridae, Pteromalidae, Thysanidae, Torymidae, Tricho­ grammatidae), Dr. L. H. Weld (HYMENOPTERA; Cynlpidae), Mr. K. V. Krombein (HYMENOPTERA; Bethylldae, Drytntdae, Sphectdae), Mr. C. F. W. Muesebeck (HYMENOPTERA; Braconidae, ceraphronidae, Dlaprl­ idae, Scellonidae), Dr. M. R. Smith (HYMENOPTERA; Formicidae), Dr. E. L. Todd (LEPIDOPTERA; Noctuidae), Mr. H. W. Capps (LEPIDOP­ TERA; Noctuidae), Dr. A. B. Gurney (ORTHOPTERA; Acrldldae, Gryllidae, Mantidae, Phasmidae), Miss Kell1e O'NeW (THYSANOPTERA). METHOD OF SAMPLING Within each of the three plot areas described above were placed three plots, making a total of nine sampling areas. The three plot area system 1a similar to that used by Muma and Muma (1949), and the. nine specltle plot system i8 similar to that used by Shackelford (1929). The combina­ Uon of these two systems gave enough flexibility to inaure that m08t plant types in each area would be included among their respective plots (tor a l1Bt ot plants see Tables I, 2, and S; tor quadrat maP8 of the plot areu see Flp. I, 2, and 3). Each plot was 225 square feet in 8lze. U4 PROC. OF THE OKLA. ACAD. OF SCI. FOR 1961

The inaect samples were taken once a week during the growing season of 1967. Using a sweep net 14 inches in diameter, tttteen sweeps were taken in each plot, making a total of 45 sweeps per plot area. Sweeps were taken on a different course each week to avoid "pathing" the plot areu. The insecta collected in this manner were sorted by the use of Berleee tunnela. 8ampllng in the above manner makes recovery of extremely soft bodied insecta such as aphids almost impossible. Also, the that remain on or in the ground were not sampled.

REsULTS All major orders of Insecta found in thIs survey were represented In each of the three sampling areas; however, not all species found were represented in each of the three sampllng areas. All shown in Table " the number of specimens taken from each of the three pasture areas 111 rather uniform, but in Table 5 it may be seen that, of the 27. species ot insects collected, 1104 species were taken from only one pasture area, 6CS species were collected from two of the pastures and 95 species were found in all three of the pasture areas. The qualitative analysIs of the data will be presented in later papers when it will be possible to compare the data taken for the three sUbsequent years.
