A new book on the world of grasshoppers
Dr. Oliver Hawlitschek of the University of Zurich has edited a new book on grasshoppers together with Prof. Dr. Martin Husemann, Director of the Natural History Museum Karlsruhe. The publication focuses on a group of animals that, despite their remarkable global diversity, often receives little public attention.
Grasshoppers, bush-crickets, and crickets are often overlooked despite their global diversity, and they remain comparatively understudied even in scientific research. Yet their world is remarkably diverse: researchers from around the world report on their evolution, life cycles, and mating behaviour, present conservation projects, and explore the many relationships between humans and grasshoppers.
