“…Beckmann et al (2015) studied the changes in distribution of some grasshoppers and crickets. They concluded that habitat generalism, southerly distribution and oviposition (Holst et al 1996). gary showed that insect groups respond differently to habitat and landscape characteristics and Orthoptera are generally influenced by landscape more than habitat features (Torma and Bozsó 2016).…”

European flood defense embankments form an excellent habitat for Orthoptera. To be effective against storms, these vegetated earth embankments have to be managed by grazing or mowing. However, grazing can impact invertebrates such as grasshoppers and crickets (Orthoptera). This management can lead to dispersal toward undisturbed grassland and reductions in the quality of habitat, food resources and oviposition sites. In most cases, orthopteran insects require heterogeneous vegetation patches with swards of varying height. The impact of grazing depends on the type of livestock; it is very important to choose appropriate animals, timing and intensity. Sheep grazing in late summer (September-October) at a moderate intensity seems to be favorable for Orthoptera. If grazing is carefully monitored, it can promote Orthoptera conservation while maintaining flood defense integrity.
