Relationships between the Mandibles, Feeding Behavior, and Damage Inflicted on Plants by the Feeding of Certain Acridids (Orthoptera) [PDF]
[excerpt] In 1960 the author described three fundamental patterns of feed- ing in Orthoptera and their allies and emphasized the close correlation that exists between the insects\u27 mouthpart structure, food, and feeding pattern. An article by Anderson (

Determinants of species richness patterns in the Netherlands across multiple taxonomic groups [PDF]
We examined the species richness patterns of five different species groups (mosses, reptiles and amphibians, grasshoppers and crickets, dragonflies, and hoverflies) in the Netherlands (41,500 km2) using sampling units of 5 × 5 km. We compared the spatial

Fauna, structure of communities and acoustic signals of grasshoppers (Orthoptera, Acridoidea) in environs of the Dzhanybek Research Station [PDF]
36 grasshopper species were showed for environs of the Dzhanybek Research Station. Features of their phenology and biotopical preference were investigated. Structure of grasshopper communities in common types of biotopes is discussed.

We introduce and physically motivate the following problem in geometric combinatorics, originally inspired by analysing Bell inequalities. A grasshopper lands at a random point on a planar lawn of area 1. It then jumps once, a fixed distanced, in a random direction.
