The Keeled Plump Bush-cricket (Isophya costata) is included in the EU – Habitats directive. It reaches its northwestern-most range limit in Austria, in the Weinviertel, where its largest population occurs in the Natura 2000 site “Weinviertler Klippen-zone”. The first occurrences were discovered there in 2000 (Buschberg) and 2003 (Michelberg), and t...

... detected seven (10 June) and six (27 June) males, respectively (H.-M. Berg, Austrian Orthoptera mapping archive). The population on the Buschberg is considerably larger and covers a greater area (Fig. 3). Along the ridge running southwest-northeast, there is a relatively large area of dry grassland, much of which is occupied by Isophya costata (Fig. 4). A little distance from there, a previously unknown population was found on a dry fallow and adjacent semi-arid meadow southwest of Oberleis (Fig. 3). Both populations together cover a total area of approx. 20 ha. The 2017 survey, which only covered part of the total area (approx. 7 ha), estimated the population size at a minimum of ...

Although most of the wild bee species are ground-nesting, little is known about their nesting requirements and the conservation measures to promote ground-nesting bees. Calcareous grasslands are one of the most species-rich habitats in Central Europe and therefore essential for protecting bee diversity. The management practices of calcareous grassl...
