The first annotated checklist of the short-horned Orthoptera (Caelifera) of Tuva and adjacent territories is presented. This list is based on numerous published and unpublished data. A total of 42 species belonging to 3 families, namely Tetrigidae (6), Tridactylidae (1), and Acrididae (35 species from the subfamilies Melanoplinae and Calli- ptaminae and from the gomphocerine tribes Chrysochraontini, Arcypterini, Aulacobothrini, and Stenobothrini), are known as occurring in Tuva. Seven species are recorded from the region for the first time, namely Tetrix similans (Bey-Bienko), Zubovskya koeppeni (Zubovsky), Podismopsis poppiusi (Miram), P. jacuta Miram, Stenobothrus nigromaculatus (Herrich-Schäfer), S. carbonarius (Eversmann), and Omocestus petraeus (Brisout de Barneville). Zubovskya mongolica Storozhenko, comb. resurr. is mentioned for the southern part of the Republic of Khakassia for the first time. The first record of Podismopsis jacuta Miram in Krasnoyarsk Region is also published. At least three species are known from the adjacent areas and listed as probably occurring in the region.

Acoustic courtship of males of three species, Epacromius pulverulentus, E. tergistinus and Platypygius crassus from Russia (Southern Siberia) and Ukraine (Cis-Azov Region), are described and illustrated by oscillograms at the first time. There are two types of stridulation: tegmina-femoral (all species) and tibia-tegminal (E. tergistinus). Calling signals for these species are not recognized.

S urveys were conducted from 1991 to 1994 and 2001 to 2005, to characterize grasshopper species occurring in Benin. The study covered 50 sites distributed throughout the different agro - ecological zones in Benin. The sampled sites ranged between latitudes 6°N and 12° N. An annotated checklist of the 8 6 species encountered in four families and 12 subfamilies was provided. Seven teen species, first recorded in Benin were described. Grasshoppers’ ecology and their geographical distribution were described. In addition, habitat, characteristics including vegetations and soils preferred by these grasshopper species were mentionned. Th e different soil types on which the grasshoppers were found were reported. The population abundance of the different species was monitored in relation with the associated host - plants.

Urbanisation can affect urban biodiversity in different ways. So far, most studies focused on the impact of urbanisation on single taxa in one habitat type. In this study, we used data of species inventories and GIS-based landscape elements to examine the effects of habitat size and landscape composition on the species diversity of three taxonomic groups (vascular plants, Orthoptera and Lepidoptera) in meadows and ruderal sites in the urban region of Basel, Switzerland. We also related the responses of three species traits (body size, dispersal ability and food specialisation) to habitat size in Orthoptera and Lepidoptera. We found that species of the different taxonomic groups differed in their response to habitat size and landscape composition both in meadows and ruderal sites depending on the traits examined. The species richness of Orthoptera and Lepidoptera was positively related to meadow size but not to the size of ruderal sites, while the opposite was true for plants. For Lepidoptera in ruderal sites, the percentage cover of ruderal area in the closer surroundings was a better predictor of species richness than habitat size per se. To sustain high levels of urban biodiversity, we recommend that urban planners develop adequate management strategies to satisfy the different requirements of various taxonomic groups and to increase the quality of green sites surrounding the target habitat.10aButterflies10agrasshoppers10aplant functional richness10aspecies–area relationship10aurbanisation1 aMelliger, Ramona, Laila1 aRusterholz, Hans-Peter1 aBaur, Bruno uhttp://link.springer.com/10.1007/s11252-017-0662-502269nas a2200217 4500008004100000022001400041245009300055210006900148260001300217300001300230490000800243520163100251653002801882653001201910653001101922653001701933653000901950100002701959700001901986856004602005 1997 eng d a0022-094900aSexual signalling in bladder grasshoppers: tactical design for maximizing calling range.0 aSexual signalling in bladder grasshoppers tactical design for ma c1997 Oct a2597-6080 v2003 a

Pair formation in the bladder grasshopper (Bullacris membracioides) is by duetting and male phonotaxis. Low-frequency stridulatory signals are emitted by an abdominal resonator in the male and are answered by females using a species-specific time delay. Acoustic transmission in the natural environment was studied using playback of sexual signals over distances of 450m under two atmospheric conditions (day and night). Upward-refracting sound conditions and a sound shadow zone beyond approximately 50m prevailed during the day. Acoustic enhancement was demonstrated at night when downward-refracting temperature inversions created a tunnel effect with sound caught between the ground and zones of different temperatures. Transmission conditions are almost ideal at night when the species actually calls; calling distances of 150m for the male signal in the afternoon increased to 1.5-1.9km at night, arguably the largest calling distance yet reported for insects. In contrast, female calls transmit over a maximum of 50m, signifying a marked discrepancy in the active space of sex-specific signals. Transmission distance may, however, be profoundly affected by levels of masking noise. Adaptations to increase the signal range may variously be found in the signal itself, in behaviour patterns or in the sensory system. Here we demonstrate aspects of the first two types of adaptation in the sexual signalling system of a grasshopper in which maximizing the calling range appears to be the major selection pressure, with lesser effects imposed by inter- and intraspecific pressures and by the transmission channel.

The Chorthippus biguttulus group includes a number of common European species that are difficult to distinguish morphologically but are easily recognized in the field by the distinctive calling songs of the males. These song-patterns have not previously been studied in Spain and as a result the Iberian members of the group have been misidentified in almost all the extensive Spanish literature on the ecology and cytogenetics of these insects. In this study the male calling songs of all six members of the group known from the Iberian Peninsula and North Africa are fully described and illustrated with oscillograms at several different speeds. The songs of the three species known only from Iberia or North Africa, jacobsi, yersini and marocanus, are fully described for the first time (marocanus is here raised in rank from subspecies). Notes on recognition, using both morphology and song, are given for each species, and two identification keys are provided, one based on morphology and the other on song. It is shown that the three species biguttulus, brunneus and mollis, previously believed to be widespread in Iberia, are absent from most of the peninsula.
