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 ...

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.

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 ...

Herbivore effect traits and their impact on plant community biomass: an experimental test using grasshoppers [PDF]
, 2014 1. Using trait-based approaches to study trophic interactions may represent one of the most promising approaches to evaluate the impact of trophic interactions on ecosystem functioning.

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

Summarization of Films and Documentaries Based on Subtitles and Scripts [PDF]
, 2016 We assess the performance of generic text summarization algorithms applied to films and documentaries, using the well-known behavior of summarization of news articles as reference. We use three datasets: (i) news articles, (ii) film scripts and subtitles,

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, 2014 The occurrence of transposable elements (TEs) is a ubiquitous characteristic of eukaryotic genomes, and these sequences are highly abundant in some species. Due to their large genomes, grasshoppers (Orthoptera) appear to be potentially good candidates in
