PREHISTORIC SETTLEMENT VARIABILITY IN THE GRASSHOPPER AREA, EAST-CENTRAL ARIZONA
… Pitiful Flats locality located midway between Grasshopper and Cibecue in east-central Arizona. The surface material of 34 archaeological sites (12 lithic sites, 22 ceramic sites) on Pitiful Flats was systematically collected to ensure data comparability. To control further for the effects of …

Nest predation and habitat selection in the grasshopper sparrow (Ammodramus savannarum)
… predation influenced nest-site selection by grasshopper sparrows (Ammodramus savannarum). I used near-infrared video cameras to identify nest predators and followed breeding females on multiple nesting attempts within a breeding season. Burning reduced losses by snakes (Thamnophis and Coluber …

Evolution of Toxin Resistance in the Grasshopper Mouse: A Comparative Genomics Perspective
… environmental niches. For example, predatory grasshopper mice have co-evolved resistance to painful and lethal neurotoxins produced by their scorpion prey. Interestingly, toxin resistance in the three species of grasshopper mice (Onychomys torridus, Onychomys leucogaster, and Onychomys …

Developments and benchmarking applications for Grasshopper : a Geant4 based physics simulation tool
… simulation engine using Geant4, called Grasshopper, has been developed to allow for generating straightforward Monte Carlo simulations for engineers and scientists in a wide range of fields. This thesis evaluates Grasshopper with a series of benchmarks that show the software is able to …

Grasshopper species complexes of forage crops in the piedmont region of Virginia
Field collections of grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acrididae, Tetrigidae, and Tettigoniidae) from twenty hayfield and pasture sites in twelve counties in Virginia were made in 1979 and 1980. Fifteen Acrididae, two Tetrigidae, and six Tettigoniidae species were found among the 20,793 grasshoppers …

The impact of megaherbivore grazers on grasshopper communities via grassland conversion in a savannah ecosystem
Grasshoppers are sensitive indicators of the state of disturbance of grassland ecosystems. This study examined the grasshopper communities inside a game reserve, comparing those found on frequently grazed areas with communities inside plots that exclude megaherbivores. The vegetation inside the …

Habitat selection in restored grasslands: the role of social cues in the settlement of Grasshopper Sparrows
… of social cues in the settlement behavior of Grasshopper Sparrows (Ammodramus savannarum) in new habitats. I played conspecific vocalizations at newly created grasslands and compared settlement rates and breeding densities at those sites to control sites, without vocalizations. A subset of …

Global change drivers and their impact on herbaceous, ant, and grasshopper assemblages in an African semi-arid savanna
… structure, and how this may cascade down to grasshopper and ant assemblages. I do this using a fully factorial experiment in KNP with nutrient and water additions where I assessed both herbaceous (forb and grass) and insect (ant and grasshopper) assemblages five years after resource additions …

Pharmacological studies on the contribution of the neuropeptide proctolin to the cephalic control of singing behavior in grasshopper Chorthippus biguttulus (L.1758)
Das artspezifische Gesangsverhalten der Feldheuschrecke Chorthippus biguttulus läßt sich sowohl bei Männchen als auch bei Weibchen durch Injektionen des Pentapeptids Proktolin in das zentrale Protozerebrum auslösen. Das stimulierte Verhalten entspricht bezüglich der seiner zeitlichen Struktur und …

Interactions between Bromus tectorum, grasshoppers, and native plants in sagebrush steppe communities
… exotic proliferation. In sagebrush shrubland, grasshoppers are often the dominant herbivores. Their feeding patterns have been shown to limit and structure plant distributions. The objective of this study was to elucidate whether grasshoppers may be promoting B. tectorum spread through …

Translocation site selection for the nationally endangered grasshopper species Brachaspis robustus : A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science at Lincoln University
The robust grasshopper (Brachaspis robustus) is one of the most endangered invertebrates in New Zealand. This species is at risk of extinction due to the compounding pressures of mammalian predation, habitat modification, and climate change. Protection of this species and its habitat is vital to …
