Abstract:Revista Brasileira de Entomologia 56(2): 228-239, junho, 2012 O Cerrado, bioma característico do Planalto Central, com grande diversidade de flora e de fauna, foi incluído na lista dos hotspots em diversidade do planeta pela Conservation Internacional (Mittermeier et al. 1999) devido a ameaças que vem sofrendo em virtude da ação do homem. As diminuições territoriais deste bioma ocorridas ao longo dos anos, em especial a partir da década de 1980, tem se tornado uma preocupação da comunidade científica.Vários… Show more
“…Compared to other such studies in Brazil (Costa & Jantsch 1999;Lutinsk et al 2011;Guerra et al 2012) and in South America (Cigliano et al 2000;Torrusio et al 2002), the diversity of grasshoppers observed in the present study is high. Forty-six species were identified, with the richest family being Acrididae, with 39 (85%) of the species collected.…”

“…However, recent studies have identified a number of species of subfamily Gomphocerinae (Lutinsk et al 2011;Guerra et al 2012). Lutinsk et al (2011) found 25 species in the Chapecó National Forest Reserve in the state of Santa Catarina (southern Brazil).…”

“…Of these, in the native forest the richest subfamily was Gomphocerinae, with five species (25%), though the Melanoplinae were more abundant, with 227 individuals (34%). Guerra et al (2012) registered 64 species in the Chapada do Parecis plateau in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, of which 49 species (76.6%) were acridids. Of these, the subfamily Gomphocerinae was the richest, with 21 species (42.9%), and the Melanoplinae were most abundant, with 1,142 individuals sampled (37.9%), followed by Gomphocerinae with 955 individuals (31.6%).…”
Neotropical mountains host much of the Earth's biodiversity. The Espinhaço Range of Brazil consists of a fragmented series of low-altitude mountains with extensive areas of grasslands. As is often the case with grasslands, grasshoppers are abundant and diverse in this ecosystem, although they are poorly known. The study was carried in three regions of the Espinhaço Range, located at southeastern Minas Gerais state: Serra do Ouro Branco, Serra do Ribeiro, and Serra do Cipó. The sampling of grasshoppers was performed using sweep and insect nets. Forty-six species (Serra do Cipó with 39 species, Serra do Ouro Branco with 25 species, and Serra do Ribeiro with 21 species) were collected. The richest family and subfamily was Acrididae and Gomphocerinae, respectively. This study recorded 17 new species occurrences to Minas Gerais.

“…A grande ocorrência de Acrididae é explicada por se tratar da família que possui a maior riqueza entre os ortópteros, com 6.576 espécies, e a que possui os gafanhotos encontrados com maior frequência nos ambientes naturais, tais como observado em estudos realizados no Cerrado (GUERRA et al, 2012), na Amazônia (NUNES-GUTJAHR; BRAGA, 2010, 2015) e em áreas de fragmentos florestais e de cultivares no Sul do Brasil (LUTINSKI et al, 2011).…”
“…Dentro de Acrididae, a espécie Abracris dilecta Walker, 1870 foi encontrada como a de maior abundância relativa nos cerrados, dentro da subfamília Ommatolampidinae (Guerra et al 2012), são comumente encontrados em limites florestais abertos, ambientes secos, arbustivos e associados a plantas cultivadas, bem como com Bromeliaceae (roBerts & CarBoNell 1981) e mais14 espécies de plantas nas famílias Asteraceae, Lamiaceae, Malvales (Sterculiaceae, Tiliaceae, Malvaceae), Poaceae, Fabaceae, Verbenaceae, Aristolochiaceae, Rubiaceae e Melastomataceae, apresentando portanto características biológicas de espécie generalista (sperBer 1996). Sua distribuição na América do Sul ocorre entre Bolívia, Colômbia, Uruguai, México, Argentina e Brasil (Pará, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina e Paraná).…”
A ordem Orthoptera apresenta mais de 24.000 espécies descritas e milhares ainda aguardando a descrição científica. Este trabalho teve como objetivo apresentar algumas espécies de Orthoptera presentes na coleção entomológica da Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso, campus Sinop. Foram encontrados 12 ortópteros adultos, distribuídos em 3 famílias e 10 espécies: Acrididae (3), Romaleidae (5) e Tettigoniidae (4) e duas Superfamílias (Acridoidea e Tettigonioidea). Registramos como nova ocorrência para o Estado de Mato Grosso, as espécies: Acanthodis longicauda (Stål, 1874) e Gnathoclita vorax (Stoll, 1813). A espécie A. longicauda, pertencente à família Tettigoniidae, não apresenta registro de ocorrência no Brasil, sendo portanto, registrada pela primeira vez no País.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
