Extraction and Analysis of Grasshopper Potential Habitat in Hulunbuir Based on the Maximum Entropy Model

Remote Sensing
Grasshoppers have profound effects on both grassland ecosystems and livestock production. Despite commendable efforts made by China in grasshopper control, completely eradicating or preventing them still remains a distant prospect.

The classification of insect communities: Lessons from orthopteran assemblages of semi-dry calcareous grasslands in central Germany

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 ...

Exotic herbivores indirectly decelerate litter decomposition via increased resistance to herbivory in exotic plants

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The chemical components of exotic plants can change after invasion as they adapt to local conditions. Studying these changes is important because they can have a marked effect on ecosystem processes and dynamics.

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 ...

ViBe (Virtual Berlin) - Immersive Interactive 3D Urban Data Visualization - Immersive interactive 3D urban data visualization [PDF]

, 2019
The project investigates the possibility of visualizing open source data in a 3D interactive virtual environment. We propose a new tool, 'ViBe'. We programmed 'ViBe' using Unity for its compatibility with HTC VIVE glasses for virtual reality (VR).

Trait‐mediated effects driven by an invasive herbivore alter functionally diverse plant–frugivore interactions

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Fruit traits play a fundamental role in mediating plant‐frugivore interactions, shaping seed dispersal dynamics. Given the complexity of multi‐species interactions, these traits and, consequently, plant‐frugivore interactions can be indirectly influenced by third‐party ...

A Rangeland Grasshopper Insurance Program

Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 1995
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.

Life history induces markedly divergent insect responses to habitat loss

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study pioneers the use of deep learning to rapidly assess over 22,000 Amazonian insects, revealing life history‐dependent winners and losers from forest loss. It shows that terrestrial insects decline while aquatic insects thrive, with body size influencing dispersal, offering key insights for biodiversity conservation in tropical fragmented ...
