The situation for terrestrial invertebrates could perhaps be qualified as rudimentary. The size of the subcontinent, its landscape heterogeneity, the rich variety of vegetation types, presence of large areas of megadiverse tropical and subtropical forests and other factors, combined with the lack or insufficiency of taxonomists for many groups contribute for the extant paucity of faunal knowledge. In what concerns the order Orthoptera, knowledge on taxonomic diversity PLENARY LECTURES seems slightly skewed towards the Caelifera, group to which some genus‐level revisions have already been presented mostly by native researchers from Argentina and Uruguay. Several European, North American, and a few native specialists have done the bulk of descriptions in both sub‐orders. The purpose of this lecture is to present a brief compilation of the history of orthopterology in South America focusing on the role played by native taxonomists.

The Orthoptera consists of two in achieving the full resolution. Finally, I discuss monophyletic suborders, the Ensifera and about the promises and pitfalls of new Caelifera. The Ensifera consist of two genomic and transcriptomic data in resolving infraorders, the Gryllidea and Tettigoniidea, phylogenetic relationships of Orthoptera. and are characterized by long, flagellate antennae that are often longer than the length Key Words: phylogenetics, molecular data, of the body, and a sword‐like or needle‐like taxonomic impediments female ovipositor. The Gryllidea include the superfamilies Grylloidea and Gryllotalpoidea, whereas the Tettigoniidea include the Schizodactyloidea, Rhaphidophoroidea, Hagloidea, Stenopelmatoidea, and Tettigonioidea. Collectively, the Ensifera include about 14,000 described species. The Caelifera also consist of two infraorders, the Tridactylidea and Acrididea, and are characterized by shorter antennae and the female ovipositor with only two valvular pairs. The Tridactylidea include The Tridactyloidea, whereas the Acrididea include eight superfamilies: Tegtrigoidea, Eumastacoidea, Proscopioidea, Tanaoceroidea, Pneumoroidea, Trigonopterygoidea, Pyrgomorphoidea, and Acridoidea. The Caelifera include more than 11,000 described species. With recent advances in phylogenetic studies, the higher‐level relationships among different superfamilies in the Orthoptera are now relatively well resolved. While higher‐level relationships among major superfamilies are established, we are far from understanding lower‐level relationships. In this presentation, I briefly review different phylogenetic hypotheses proposed by the pioneers of orthopteran systematics of the 20th century. Then, I highlight some of the major advances made using modern molecular data and contrast with previous hypotheses. I also 6 PLENARY LECTURE SURVIVAL IN FRAGMENTED LANDSCAPES – EFFECTS OF LAND‐USE AND CLIMATE CHANGE ON ORTHOPTERA IN EUROPE Thomas Fartmann1 1 Department of Biodiversity and Landscape Ecology, Faculty of Biology/Chemistry, University of Osnabrück, Barbarastr. 13, 49076 Osnabrück, Germany, [email protected] RTHOPTERA are important bioindicators O of the effects of global change. Moreover, they are of high functional importance to open and nutrient‐poor terrestrial ecosystems, e.g. as a crucial food resource for many vertebrate species. However, these formerly widespread habitats a) are nowadays, due to land‐use intensification or abandonment in most parts of Europe, often restricted to small and isolated remnants. Recently, climate change has become an additional factor that influences b) Orthoptera habitats and the distribution of the species. The aim of this plenary talk is to disentangle the effects of current land‐use and climate change on the long‐term persistence of Orthoptera in European landscapes. Based on extensive field and laboratory studies ranging from the microhabitat and habitat to the landscape scale level, the most important drivers are highlighted. A special focus will be c) on the effects of habitat quality, habitat heterogeneity, patch size and landscape connectivity on Orthoptera
