“…In the first case, the population inhabits the roadside of the railway embankment and adjacent territories. Approximately this thermophilic species prefer such conditions within its range, populating firstly place stone placers, gravel deposits (Budrys and Pakalniðkis 2007;Jaun-Holderegger and Zettel 2008;Kuravova 2014). The second population occurs in the areas burnt in 2010.…”

Ruchin A, Mikhailenko AP. 2018. Fauna of mantids and orthopterans (Insecta: Mantodea, Orthoptera) of the Mordovia StateNature Reserve, Russia. Biodiversitas 19: 1194-1206. The data on the distribution and habitat confinement of one Mantodea species and44 Orthoptera species in the Mordovia State Nature Reserve are given. Of these, one species of Orthoptera (Calliptamus italicus) isrecorded for the first time for the Mordovia State Nature Reserve, four species (Mantis religiosa, Phaneroptera falcata, Conocephalusfuscus, Tettigonia caudata) are recently penetrated, one species (Conocephalus fuscus) is reported in the Republic of Mordovia for thefirst time. In the fauna of mantids and orthopterans of the Mordovia Reserve, three ecological groups were identified: polytopic, notconfined to certain biotopes (14 species), hygrophilous representatives of intrazonal habitats (5 species) and xerophiles. Among thelatter, there are species of extrazonal habitats (13 species) and confined to dry pine forests (7 species). The steppe group was notrepresented. For the three key habitats with the largest number of identified species, brief botanical descriptions are given. Factorsinfluencing the species composition and current state of fauna of mantises and orthopterans of the Mordovia Reserve are discussed, andmeasures are proposed for the conservation of vulnerable species.

“…At present, it is extinct in Belgium and the Netherlands (Olmo-Vidal, 2006).

“…In Germany, it has lost 55% of its localities since 1980 (Gruttke & Haupt, 2005;Reinhardt et al, 2005) and become extinct in several federal states (Hemp & Hemp, 2003). Severe population trends have also been reported from France (Luquet, 1982), Finland (V€ ais€ anen et al, 1991), Sweden (Kindvall et al, 1993), Spain (Olmo-Vidal, 2006, Lithuania (Budrys & Pakalni skis, 2007), Poland (Głowaci nski & Nowacki, 2004;Theuerkauf et al, 2005) and the Czech Republic (Pecina, 1982;Holu sa, 2000;Spitzer, 2007). Psophus stridulus shares its habitat with threatened plants (Pavelka & Trezner, 2001), butterflies (V€ ais€ anen et al, 1991;Spitzer et al, 2009a,b), bugs (Roh a cov a, 2011), spiders (Majkus, 2000) and other organisms.…”

Semi‐natural habitats in Europe host a substantial proportion of biodiversity, but they experience biodiversity loss due to ongoing agricultural changes. We regard the Rattle grasshopper (Psophus stridulus) as a charismatic species of species‐rich submontane xerothermic grasslands. To enable conservation of the species and its habitat, we studied the habitat preferences of this formerly abundant grasshopper, now threatened and declining in many European countries. In 2011, we applied capture‐mark‐recapture method to sample adults at four localities (Czech Republic), each divided into two subplots with different management and character of vegetation. In 2012, we carried out a more extensive study on habitat preferences, evaluating 179 grassland patches (24% of them occupied by P. stridulus). For each site, we recorded vegetation characteristics (sward height and density, cover of vegetation components, percentage of bare ground), slope, inclination and agricultural management. We used multistate models in MARK software to analyse survival and movement probabilities between different subplots. Data from the 2012 large‐scale study were analysed by fitting several regression models. The results show that the species preferred south‐facing slopes with sparse, short vegetation and with patches of bare ground. Sward density was the most important predictor of species presence. For species conservation, we recommend controlling succession on the localities by regular management (grazing or cautious mowing) to maintain optimal habitat with sparse sward. We promote P. stridulus as a flagship and umbrella species of species‐rich submontane xerothermic pastures.

“…The Lithuanian Orthoptera fauna comprises 45 species, with only Barbitistes constrictus Brunner von Wattenwyl representing the family of Phaneropteridae in Lithuania so far (Budrys & Pakalniškis 2007). According to the Fauna Europaea database (Willemse 2007), the species Gomphocerrippus rufus (Linnaeus, 1758), Omocestus rufipes (Zetterstedt, 1821) and Euthystira brachyptera (Ocskay, 1826) (Ivinskis & Rimšaitė 2008), and dra gonflies Aeshna affinis (Bernard 2005) and Orthetrum brunneum (Bernard & Ivinskis 2004).…”
