“…For example, PAM could be an efficient method to monitor the Mormon cricket, Anabrus simplex (Tettigoniidae). Although present in low‐density populations in southern Alberta, it is an agricultural pest in the United States that is thought to be increasing both its range and abundance in Alberta in response to climate change (Cannon, 1998; Wang et al, 2014).…”

For animals that produce species‐specific audible sounds, environmental recordings combined with automated acoustic monitoring software (passive acoustic monitoring [PAM]) may be an effective monitoring tool because it allows audio data from many, widely distributed autonomous recording units (ARUs) to be processed in a relatively short period of time. Males of many insect species produce loud, species‐specific mating songs, yet acoustic insects have received less attention from PAM relative to vertebrates. We evaluated the use of PAM to monitor, Roeseliana roeselii (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae), an acoustic insect that has expanded its range to Alberta, Canada, far outside its naturalized North American range. We analysed environmental recordings from ARUs: (1) at two control sites known to be occupied by R. roeselii and (2) across Alberta established by the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (ABMI) to search for new populations. PAM successfully detected R. roeselii at the two control sites, but not at any of the 73 ABMI sites that we analysed. Despite the failure to detect new locations of R. roeselii, our analysis of ABMI environmental recordings detected several other species of acoustic insects, including Orchelimum gladiator, Gryllus sp. and Allonemobius spp. Our results add to the growing body of work showing the feasibility of using PAM for acoustic insects. We make suggestions for how to maximize the effectiveness of this monitoring tool for the conservation and management of singing insects in North America.

“…Another relatively recent development is the emergence of automated methods that utilize orthopteran acoustic signalling to survey or monitor population size or density (e.g. Wang et al, 2014), species diversity (e.g. Thompson et al, 2020;van der Mescht et al, 2021), responses to environmental change (e.g.…”

“…Mate location relies on visual/chemical cues rather than acoustic signals (Ely et al, 2006) Courtship minimal but signals exchanged while male mounted before actual copulation, especially in solitary phase compared with gregarious phase (2018a; Golov et al, 2018b;Wang et al, 2014) Courtship song and courtship vibrational signals by both male and female (Golov et al, 2018b) Pamphagidae (stone grasshoppers)…”

Acoustic communication is one of the most well-known behavioural traits of the Orthoptera. Orthopteran insects and the sounds they produce are both extremely diverse, and speciesspecific sounds are an extremely important tool in orthopteran taxonomy and systematics. For most species, acoustic signalling is the most important means of communication. It plays a vital role in mating, mate choice, intrasexual competition, interspecific interactions with predators and parasitoids, and the divergence of populations and species. The enormous diversity of the orthopterans has provided researchers with a wealth of model systems for studying anatomy, physiology, neurobiology, bioacoustics, communication, life-history traits, behaviour, evolutionary ecology, and speciation, all areas in which acoustic communication is important. We first reviewed orthopteran sound signalling nearly 20 years ago (Robinson and Hall, 2002), since when there has been an enormous amount of further work. This second review will look mainly at research published since that first review.

New application method for entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (Poinar, 1976) (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditidae) HBH strain against Locusta migratoria (Linnaeus, 1758) (Orthoptera: Acrididae)

Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) of the families Heterorhabditidae and Steinernematidae are being used as biocontrol agents against many soil borne insect pests in agriculture. Above-ground applications against the insects are usually unsuccessful due to the lack of humidity. Therefore, EPNs rapidly lose their effectiveness. In this study, conducted in 2018 under laboratory conditions in Bursa-Turkey, a new application method was developed for the use of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (Poinar, 1976) (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditidae) HBH hybrid strain against the migratory locust, Locusta migratoria (Linnaeus, 1758) (Orthoptera: Acrididae). A new trap system is coated with hydrophilic cotton fabric to provide the necessary humidity to allow the use of EPNs above-ground. Three different application rates of H. bacteriophora (5000, 25000 and 50000 IJs) were applied to the trap system. The fabric was inoculated with the nematodes and combined with a reservoir containing 200 ml of ringer solution. The dead and live nematodes were recorded periodically to determine their persistence on the fabric. The mortality of L. migratoria were also recorded to determine the infectivity of H. bacteriophora. The infectivity and persistence of the nematodes was sustained for more than 4 weeks by this method.
