项目摘要

The Melanoplinae make up the most diverse group of grasshoppers on the North American. In this subfamily, there are 606 species in 43 genera, including the very diverse genus Melanoplus, with 273 species placed in 31 species groups and an additional 83 species not currently placed in any group. The goal of this project is to produce a comprehensive and dynamic taxonomic treatise of the Melanoplinae of North America and Mexico. This synthetic work will complement previous treatises on the grasshoppers of North America (The Grasshoppers of North America series Vol I and II; Otte 1981 and 1984) and will provide a foundation for future genetic and phylogenetic studies that will inevitably increase our understanding of the relationships among this diverse group. In turn, this resource will encourage and promote scientific studies that use grasshoppers to understand evolutionary, ecological and environmental processes. Broder Impact of this project include outreach to the public and K-12 students, as well as museum exhibits. The Grasshoppers of North America Vol. III. Melanoplinae will 1) provide a thorough and updated taxonomic treatment of known species and species groups, summarize information on their ecologies, and update maps of their geographical distributions, 2) provide illustrations of diagnostic characteristics and produce identification keys to the major species groups, and 3) produce a dynamic on-line resource on Orthoptera Species File that will be updated and responsive to future taxonomic discoveries, revisions, and systematic works.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

Melanoplinae构成了北美最多样化的蚱蜢群体。在这个亚科中，有43属606种，包括非常多样化的属Melanoplus，其中273种被置于31个种组中，另外83种目前没有被置于任何组中。该项目的目标是产生一个全面的和动态的分类学论文的北美和墨西哥的Melanoplinae。这项综合工作将补充以前的论文北美蚱蜢（北美蚱蜢系列1981年和1984年），并将提供一个基础，为未来的遗传和系统发育研究，这将不可避免地增加我们的理解这个不同的群体之间的关系。反过来，这一资源将鼓励和促进利用蚱蜢了解进化、生态和环境过程的科学研究。这个项目的更广泛的影响包括向公众和K-12学生的宣传，以及博物馆展览。北美蝗虫第三卷。黑甲亚科将1）提供已知物种和物种组的彻底和更新的分类学处理，总结其生态信息，并更新其地理分布图，2）提供诊断特征的说明，并为主要物种组提供识别码，以及3）在直翅目物种档案上产生动态在线资源，该资源将被更新并响应未来的分类学发现、修订，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
