Relative Preference of Arphia Sulphurea (Orthoptera: Acrididae) for Sparse and Common Prairie Grasses

Relative Drought Resistance of Seedlings of Dominant Prairie Grasses

Space Requirement for Mass Rearing of Two Common Indian Acridid Adults (Orthoptera: Acrididae) in Laboratory Condition

Being nutritionally rich, short-horned grasshoppers (acridids) can be used to produce high quality feed for livestock industries. For a sustainable supply to the feed manufacturing companies a huge acridid biomass should be obtained at a regular basis. For this purpose acridid farming is going to be essential. But for a successful farming their optimum density per unit space should be obtained....

Immersion Tolerance in Rangeland Grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acrididae)

Extent of Communities and Abundance of the Most Common Grasses in Prairie

Effects of Temperature on Behavior of Trimerotropis Pallidipennis (orthoptera, Acrididae)

We observed activity and behavior of Trimerotropis pallidipennis in the field and constructed time-activity budgets during June–July 2003. Grasshoppers began to walk once site temperatures (shaded air temperature 1 cm above soil surface) reached 18.6uC, foraging began once temperatures reached 24.2–31.7uC, and courtship began once temperatures reached 30.3–36.4uC. Mating and oviposition occurre...
