| Description | Coexisting grasshopper species in North American rangeland typically feed on different plants (Mulkern et al. 1969, Joern 1979a, 1983, Pfadt and Lavigne 1982), are found in different microhabitats (Anderson 1964, Joern 1982, 1986), and are phenologically shifted throughout the year (Joern 1979b). Recognition of behavioral mechanisms underlying observed patterns is required before population and community level processes in grasshopper assemblies can be clarified. Understanding such processes may allow range managers to assess better the impact of grasshopper consumption of forage and recognize previously unappreciated points of vulnerability for control programs. Development of noninvasive, cultural controls which act in concert with biological processes may be the ultimate economic gain of such studies. In this paper, complex interactions among behavioral responses which underlie patterns of resource use are outlined. Book Name: Integrated Pest Management on Rangeland |
