A RANGELAND GRASSHOPPER INSURANCE PROGRAM [PDF]
The incidence of benefits and costs from controlling rangeland grasshoppers on public grazing lands poses problems of economic efficiency and distributional equity. Public grasshopper control programs operate like public disaster assistance.

Flooding affects fluctuating asymmetry but not growth of a riparian orbweaving spider
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.In a mesocosm experiment we assessed the impact of flood on aquatic insect emergence and on spider development using geometric morphometric analysis of fluctuating asymmetry. We observed 45% higher emergence in flooded mesocosm throughout the season. Spiders did not grow bigger but exhibited ~15% lower fluctuating asymmetry than in controls.

European Journal of Entomology, 2008 Whereas the classification of plant communities has a long tradition that of animal assemblages remains poorly developed. Here we propose a classification scheme for orthopteran communities based on regional "character species", "differential species ...

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.An ensemble model achieved excellent accuracy (AUC = 0.973) in predicting the potential distribution of O. decorus asiaticus. Climate (temperature & August precipitation) and vegetation type are the primary drivers defining the species' suitable habitats.

Orthopteran communities in the conifer-broadleaved woodland zone of the Russian Far East
European Journal of Entomology, 2008 We investigate orthopteran communities in the natural landscape of the Russian Far East and compare the habitat requirements of the species with those of the same or closely related species found in the largely agricultural landscape of central Europe ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Floral resource strips within apple orchards increased parasitoid abundance and influenced community composition, enhancing local biodiversity in the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve's transition zone. Ruderal and natural fynbos habitats supported higher parasitoid richness and abundance, emphasising the importance of conserving semi‐natural habitats ...

Phenotypic pattern over centric fusion clinal variation in the water-hyacinth grasshopper, Cornops aquaticum (Orthoptera: Acrididae) [PDF]
, 2018 The water-hyacinth grasshopper, Cornops aquaticum, occurs in freshwater environments in the New World between latitudes 23°N and 35°S. At the southernmost margin of this distribution the populations are polymorphic for three centric fusions (Robertsonian
