Sakaerat Biosphere Reserve is one of the four Biosphere Reserves in Thailand. It is situated at Khorat Plateau and comprises of mainly dry evergreen forest and dry dipterocarp forest. Despite studies that document its rich biodiversity, there was no concerted study on the orthopteran diversity. Recent sampling by the authors in Sakaerat led to the...

... (Sageer et al., 2023) [15] . We can find them in most of the terrestrial habitats and they help in habitat ecosystem preservation and they can also be used as a potential ecologic indicator (Dawwrueng et al., 2017) [3] . In South Albania for Orthoptera has been little research and that little has been referred in the publications before World War Second by foreign researchers and before 90s by local researchers (Murraj et al., 1971;Salfi 1937) [11,16] . ...
Orthopera are a group of well-known insects that are found in different ecosystems. They damage cultivations and they are important bioindicators for the enviroments. The object of this work is studying taxonomy of Orthopera Order in some stations of Vlore area (Albania). The material is collected during 2022-2023. In this work we refer 5 families, 23 genders and 27 species. By systematic analyzes results that the most represented family is Acrididae with 15 species or with a frequency of 55.55%. The least represented families are Tetrigidae dhe Mogoplistidae with 1 specie or with a frequence of 3.7 %. This shows that the stations ecosystems where is collected the biological material for Acididae family offer suitable conditions. Lepenica station habitats displayed a bigger diversity compared with other stations, with 16 species or a frequence of 59.25%, while Dukat station fewer species with 6 species 22.22% frequency. This shows that the habitats in Lepenica station offer favorable conditions for the species of Orthoptera Order.
... Although this specimen is incompletely preserved, it possesses the general appearance of Orthoptera with very enlarged hindlegs, hypognathous head and mandibulate mouth (Arillo and Ortuño 1997). Furthermore, it shows characters of Grylloidea such as a cylindrical body and very slender hind tibiae (Dawwrueng et al. 2017;Tan et al. 2019). ...
... In Southeast Asia, fossil Grylloidea are reported from Myanmar (middle-late Cretaceous) (Poinar et al. 2020;Yuan et al. 2022). Living Orthoptera, including Grylloidea, are very widespread in Thailand (Storozhenko and Dawwrueng 2015;Dawwrueng et al. 2017). ...
In Western Thailand, Miocene shales from Wang Kaew, in the Mae Sot basin, have yielded a diverse insect assemblage comprising 115 articulated specimens. In this preliminary review, 15 subcomplete specimens are studied and referred to at least eight forms belonging to five orders (Coleoptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera, Orthoptera, and Hemiptera). Coleoptera are represented by very nicely preserved specimens of weevils (Curculionidae). Diptera are known by three different taxa referred to Bibionidae, Sciaridae and Brachycera. Hymenoptera are known by representatives of Vespidae and Formicidae. Orthoptera are represented by a single specimen of uncertain affinities and Hemiptera by one Gerrinae. This insect assemblage is the most complete ever reported in Southeast Asia during the Cenozoic.

In Southeast Asia, the insect fossil record is mostly represented by Mesozoic forms. Cenozoic fossils are much rarer and only known from a few occurrences in Thailand and Indonesia (e.g., Chauviré et al. 2020). In Thailand, Cenozoic insects have only been reported from two Miocene sites in the Mae Sot basin, Tak Province. A unique specimen from Wat Don Koea was ascribed to the flat bug genus Neuroctenus (Araridae) by Endo & Fujiyama (1966). More recently, a rich assemblage from Wang Kaew was reported by Srisuk et al. (2006). This assemblage is formed of more than 100 specimens, referred to at least eight forms and five orders (Coleoptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera, Orthoptera, Hemiptera). Coleoptera are represented by very nicely preserved weevils (Curculionidae). Diptera are known by three different taxa referred to Bibionidae, Sciaridae and Brachycera. Hymenoptera are known by representatives of Vespidae and Formicidae. Orthoptera are represented by a single specimen of uncertain affinities and Hemiptera by a Gerrinae. This insect assemblage is the most complete ever reported in Southeast Asia during the Cenozoic. Moreover, the ecology of living members of these taxa is consistent with the paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental reconstructions of the Miocene basins of Western Thailand, with seasonally dry lakes under subtropical to tropical conditions (e.g., Songtham et al.2003).
... Scientific approaches to entomophagy started in the area of ethnozoology, recording which ethnic group consumed which insect species in which context, which goes together with discovering insect biodiversity as such (e.g., Meyer-Rochow, 1975, 2005Costa Neto and Ramos Elorduy, 2006;Dawwrueng et al., 2017). Many people with a Western point of view regarded insects as a food curiosity of supposedly poor and uneducated tribes, though, conserving this twentieth century attitude toward entomophagy up to now. ...
For almost a decade, edible insects have become promoted on a wider basis as one way to combat world hunger and malnourishment, although attempts to do so have a longer history. Contemporary researchers and consumers, particularly those without an entomophagous background, have been rising safety and sustainability concerns. The present contribution seeks a substantiated answer to the question posed above. The possible answer consists of different factors that have been taken into consideration. First, the species and its life cycle. It is mandatory to realize that what is labeled as “edible insects” stands for more than 2,140 animal species, not counting other edible, non-crustacean arthropods. Their life cycles are as diverse as the ecological niches these animals can fill and last between some days to several years and many of them may—or may not—be reproduced in the different farming systems. Second, the level of knowledge concerning the food use of a given species is important, be it traditional, newly created by research, or a combination of both. Third, the existence of a traditional method of making the use of the insect safe and sustainable, ideally from both the traditional and the modern points of view. Fourth, the degree of effectiveness of these measures despite globalization changes in the food-supplying network. Fifth, farming conditions, particularly housing, feeding (type, composition, and contaminants), animal health and animal welfare. Sixth, processing, transport, and storage conditions of both traditional and novel insect-based foodstuffs, and seventh, consumer awareness and acceptance of these products. These main variables create a complex web of possibilities, just as with other foodstuffs that are either harvested from the wild or farmed. In this way, food safety may be reached when proper hygiene protocols are observed (which usually include heating steps) and the animals do not contain chemical residues or environment contaminants. A varying degree of sustainability can be achieved if the aforementioned variables are heeded. Hence, the question if insects can be safe and sustainable can be answered with “jein,” a German portmanteau word joining “yes” (“ja”) and “no” (“nein”).

... Klasifikasi Orthoptera kedalam beberapa takson berdasarkan atas beberapa karakter meliputi anatomi, fisiologi, ekologi, dan morfologi. Karakter morfologi merupakan yang paling banyak digunakan untuk membagi spesies kedalam takson yang sesuai dengan kekerabatan atau filogeni (Jayashree & Channaveerappa, 2016 40-Analisis Tingkat Kemiripan... ); (Wrueng, Tan, Artchawakom, & Waengsothorn, 2017). Untuk menarik kesimpulan tentang filogeni, para ahli sistematika harus mengumpulkan informasi mengenai morfologi, gen, dan biokimia dari berbagai organisme yang relevan. ...
Identifiasi suatu spesies dilakukan dengan cara mengamati berbagai ciri umum maupun khusus dari spesies tersebut berdasarkan karakter morfologi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifiasi dan menghitung tingkat kekerabatan Ordo Orthoptera di Hutan Wisata Bromo Karanganyar menggunakan indeks kesamaan Sorensen dan dendogram. Metode penelitian menggunakan deskriptif kuantitatif. Sampel diperoleh melalui sampling di beberapa etape dalam hutan meliputi semak, jalan setapak, sungai dan area pepohonan. Hasil menunjukan bahwa dari 10 spesies yang diperoleh, Melanoplus diffrentialis dan Melanoplus bivitatus memiliki kekerabatan paling dekat yaitu sebesar
92,3% sedangkan kekerabatan paling jauh adalah antara Melanoplus diffrentialis dan Neocurtila hexadactila yaitu sebesar 33,87%. Spesies dalam satu tingkatan takson yang sama cenderung memiliki kemiripan morfologi yang tinggi dibanding dengan spesies dari takson yang berbeda, meski beberapa spesies tidak menunjukkan hal demikian.
... Male genitalia resemble that of the species illustrated in Ingrisch (1998a). This species is widespread in Southeast Asia, and can be found in Thailand, Singapore, and Peninsular Malaysia (Ingrisch 1998a, Tan 2012, Tan and Kamaruddin 2014, 2016, Dawwrueng et al. 2017). Refer to Tan et al. (2017c) for more details on the calling songs and species distribution. ...
The Orthoptera, comprising grasshoppers, crickets, and katydids, is diverse and species rich in tropical Southeast Asia, including the island of Borneo. However, not every part of Southeast Asia is equally well sampled and studied. This includes Brunei Darussalam, specifically at the Kuala Belalong Field Studies Centre (KBFSC) within the Ulu Temburong National Park. We present here an annotated and illustrated checklist of Orthoptera from the primary dipterocarp forest around Kuala Belalong based on three field trips in 2016 and 2017. We provide notes on their taxonomy (including how each species was identified) and natural history of species. In total, 72 species were recorded, representing eight of the 16 monophyletic orthopteran superfamilies. In total, 73.6% of all species recorded were singletons and doubletons, indicating that many species are probably rare. The collection led to the discovery of ten species new to science already published separately, with more expected to be described from pending material and confirmation. More species, including undescribed ones (at least four new species), are expected with continued sampling effort. Despite the 21 day-long surveying efforts from three trips around KBFSC, we believe that the species list provided here is non-exhaustive and only a preliminary one.
... Even though it is not uncommon among crickets to form chorusing aggregations (Simmons, 1988), these crickets do not occur naturally in large numbers, especially on the road. Gryllus bimaculatus tends to inhabit grasslands (Dawwrueng et al., 2017), including those near Old Upper Thomson Road (see . It is also unlikely to venture into the open road in the middle of the day as the tarmac would be too hot. ...
... The orthopterans and flowers were identified in the field with the aid of guides (e.g. Tan 2012a, 2012b, Tan and Kamaruddin 2014, Dawwrueng et al. 2017, whenever possible. Otherwise, specimens were collected for further identification. ...
The study of insect–plant interactions such as flower visitors, pollinators, and florivores, are important for understanding the natural world. However, not all flower-visiting insects are equally well known, especially in the biodiverse Southeast Asian region. One group is the orthopterans, comprising of grasshoppers, crickets, and katydids. Natural history observations were made around Southeast Asia to document flower-visiting orthopterans. Owing to the limited studies on the ecology of orthopterans in Southeast Asia, we provide here the first documentation of flower-visiting orthopterans from Southeast Asia and the most extensive one for the Tropics. Based on 140 incidences of orthopteran visiting flowers, 41 orthopteran species have so far been recorded to visit 35 different plant species, in mainly Singapore, Malaysia, part of Thailand, and Brunei Darussalam. We conclude that orthopterans are indeed overlooked flower-visitors in this region and warrant further investigation.
Today, climate change, an increase in anthropogenic factors, and changes in the natural environment have an adverse effect on insect diversity due to the changing climes around the world. There has been an increase in the number of pests of agricultural crops over the past few years because of the expansion of the cultivated areas in arid regions, including the number of insects of the Order Orthoptera. The formation of fauna in different regions of the globe needs to be identified in order to improve the methods of combating them, and therefore, it is necessary to identify their formation. A great deal of research on the class of insects has been conducted over the last 35 years, and most of those articles are published in English. However, the research work on Insecta: Orthoptera was carried out in different topics and ways during those 35 years. The scope of this article is to cover all articles that have been published about orthoptera between 1986 and 2021 in the Scopus database. Various categories were analyzed in order to determine the quality of this research, including the year of research, who was responsible for the research, and which of the major research institutes did the research. In the light of the analysis, it is possible to have a certain understanding of the current research problems that are being experienced in this area as a result of the analysis.
