Project title : From expert estimates to evidence-based conservation action for critically endangered bush-cricket. Duration: 2021-2022. Basic characteritics of the project: The Bei-Bienko’s Plump Bush-cricket, Isophya beybienkoi is an endemic species to the Slovak Karst (Slovakia, Central Europe). In the present, the bush-cricket is listed as Critically Endangered (CR), with the occurrence restricted to last six small and isolated subpopulations, with negative demographic trend. To mitigate this decline and thus prevent the bush-cricket from extinction, there is an urgently need for a systematic research, to improve the present information . Therefore, understanding of the species ecology and developing ways to mitigate the decline become important goals of this project. Mapping of current distribution, inference of population-genetic structure and establishment of back-up populations are the most important objectives, which bring the first expected results to provide original source of knowledge when creating a conservation plan.

Project title: Delineation of notoriously difficult species complexes: testing of novel genetic approaches on the example of two sibling species in the Central Europe. Duration: 2020-2021. Basic characteristics of the project: The Carpathian Dancing Grasshopper (Ch. oschei) and the Lesser Marsh Grasshopper (Ch. albomarginatus) are two sibling species which are widespread across Europe, meeting in a hybrid zone in Central Europe. They exhibit distinct courtship behaviour and songs but are morphologically nearly indistinguishable, making the identification of the parent species and their hybrids very difficult. Much of the data available so far from the region of the hybrid zone simply refers to Ch. oschei/albomarginatus, and if species were identified, this was often done tentatively based on morphological characters. So far, no genetic studies have been able to resolve the population structure of the hybrid zone. Therefore, the main aim of this project is to test the novel genetic approaches on the example of two sibling species. Obtained results could represent a crucial step in the resolution of notoriously difficult species complexes. Type of participation: Project Leader. Donor: The Theodore J. Cohn Research Fund.

Project title: Hybridization between Chorthippus oschei and Ch. albomarginatus in the Central Europe: support of morphological and acoustic data and development of appropriate molecular design. Duration: July-December 2020. Basic characteristics of the project: The Carpathian Dancing Grasshopper (Ch. oschei) and the Lesser Marsh Grasshopper (Ch. albomarginatus) are two sibling species which are widespread across Europe, meeting in a hybrid zone in Central Europe. However, borders of the possible hybrid zone in the Central Europe are still not clearly defined. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to clarify the recent distribution of the Ch. albomarginatus group in the trans-border area of Hungary, Austria, Czech Republic and Slovakia analysing a number of stridulatory pegs and peg density for each male individual, using a high-resolution microscope. Moreover, a supplementary survey will be initiated to support our morphological evidence. In collaboration with experts (Moscow, Germany), we attempt to distinguish these species and their possible hybrids by verifying them via different complex courtship songs recorded with digital camera and developing of an appropriate molecular design.

Project title: Current status and habitat requirements of the Keeled Plump Bush-cricket (Isophya costata Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1878) in the Austrian-Slovak trans-border area. Duration: 2018-2019. Basic characteristics of the project: In this project, we investigated the current distribution and microhabitat requirements of the Keeled Plump Bush-cricket (Isophya costata), a threatened species, at the north-western periphery of its range (Austrian-Slovak trans-border area, Central Europe). To clarify the current distribution pattern in relation to microhabitat requirements, we employed a comprehensive combination of microhabitat assessment and microrelief topography in a flood-plain area, which was supplemented by photo documentation created using a drone. We assume that the novel information on species ecologycould be a first step in obtaining sufficient data for further systematic monitoring. Type of participation: Project Leader.
