A descriptive key and plates of drawings showing epidermal structures are presented. Their use will permit the identification of 53 species of forbs and grasses that may comprise the diet of herbivores, such as grasshoppers, when ingested as leaf fra

The gross anatomy of all the leg muscles of the American coot (Fulica americana Gmelin) is described. These findings differ on a number of points from earlier investigations of gruiform anatomy: the presence of M. iliotrochantericus medius, the prese

A brief historical review of the occurrence of the clear-winged grasshopper, Camnula pellucida (Scudd.), is presented as well as recent information pertaining to the biology of its various life stages. In the egg stage, diapause is more successfully

Observations on the occurrence of Camnula pellucida (Scudder) on native grasslands in Saskatchewan indicated that such areas did not support large populations of this species except on the margins where these were adjacent to cereal crops. This suppo

A widespread epizootic of the fungous disease caused by Entomophthora grylli Fres. occurred among grasshoppers in Saskatchewan in 1963. Camnula pellucida (Scudder), in particular, suffered high mortality and was nearly wiped out in those areas of cen

Adults of Melanoplus bilituratus (Walker) were reared in the laboratory as groups of pairs, as groups in association with mature and immature males, as single pairs, and as groups of unmated females. Females of grouped pairs produced a larger number

The bioenergetics of annual populations of the dusky grasshopper, Encoptolophus sordidus costalis, on a natural grassland site were examined. Peak dry weight biomass of these insects reached 1.7 kg/ha (1.85 lb/at). Oxygen consumption ranged from 2.76

High winter mortality of eggs of three species of grasshopper occurred at various locations in Saskatchewan. Climatological factors associated with these mortalities indicated that egg survival during the winter is dependent upon snow cover as well a

The main objective of the present work was to investigate the ability of grasshopper nymphs to escape an environment devoid of food plants and to reach a suitable food supply, either as a result of random dispersal or by marching. The immediate inter

With the increased availability of radioisotopes and their application to the study of insect behaviour and dispersal, the possibility of using a radio-active tag on grasshoppers was investigated. Preliminary studies on the distribution of radio-acti
