“…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.

“…Sampling was targeted at six selected Orthoptera species belonging to the family Acrididae MacLeay, 1821 (Table 1; taxonomy according to Cigliano, Braun, Eades, & Otte, 2021), found in the open sandy communities described above (Liana, 1990(Liana, , 1994(Liana, , 1999Warchałowska-Śliwa et al, 1992;Bazyluk & Liana, 2000;Kuřavová, 2014). All of these species can be regarded as threatened in Poland, as in the Polish red list of threatened species (Liana, 2002), they were given NT (near threatened) or higher status (Table 1).…”

“…Bazyluk & Liana, 1970;Liana, 1976Liana, , 1978Liana, , 1982Liana, , 1990Liana, , 1994. In contrast, there is significantly less data on other types of open dry ecosystems -psammophilous grasslands and other inland sand-related habitats (Liana, 1990(Liana, , 1994Warchałowska-Śliwa, Maryańska-Nadachowska, & Kostia, 1992;Kuřavová, 2014;Krasoń & Wojton, 2021), although they are more widespread and occupy larger areas than xerothermic grasslands (EEA 2021). At the same time, psammophilous grasslands are among the threatened and declining habitats in Europe (Janssen et al, 2016), mostly as a result of vegetation succession or due to being treated as wastelands, which leads to ongoing afforestation or housing development (Liana, 1999(Liana, , 2002Krištín et al, 2004;Kujawa-Pawlaczyk, 2010;Trąba & Rogut, 2013).…”

Psammophilous grasslands are declining in Europe due to ecological succession and anthropogenic pressures, yet they group many specialised invertebrates of early successional biotopes. We investigated the occurrence of six threatened species of Orthoptera in 135 patches of psammophilous grasslands and other open sand-related habitats (dry heaths, sandy roads, sand pits) located in the Sandomierz Basin (SE Poland). The aim was to verify whether these habitats, and especially the active military range, serve as a refuge for any of the selected species. Localities of Podisma pedestris and Calliptamus italicus found in the study area covering 0.7% of Poland’s territory represented a significant proportion (50 and 18%, respectively) of UTM grid squares known to be currently occupied by these species in the country. In the regional scale of southern Poland, studied habitats also accumulated a large proportion (ca. 17%) of the current localities of Oedipoda caerulescens. However, for Aiolopus thalassinus, Psophus stridulus and Sphingonotus caerulans the importance of the Sandomierz Basin as a country wide refuge was rather minor. Five of the six target species were found on the military range, with two (P. pedestris, P. stridulus) recorded only there. These results indicate that sand-related habitats are important refuges for some threatened orthopterans in the region and should be actively protected.
