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.

黑色素属是北美最多样化的蚱hoppers。在这个亚科中，有43个属中有606种，包括非常多样化的黑色素属，有273种在31种种群中放置，目前尚未放置83种。该项目的目的是为北美和墨西哥的黑素植物提供全面而动态的分类论文。这项综合工作将补充北美蚱hoppers的先前论文（北美系列卷和II和II； Otte 1981和1984），并将为未来的遗传和系统发育研究奠定基础，这将不可避免地增强我们对这个多元化群体之间关系的理解。反过来，该资源将鼓励和促进使用蚱hoppers了解进化，生态和环境过程的科学研究。该项目的Broder影响包括向公众和K-12学生展开展览以及博物馆展览。北美的蚱hoppers。 iii。 Melanoplinae将1）提供对已知物种和物种群体的详尽和更新的分类治疗，总结了其生态的信息，并更新其地理分布的地图，2）提供诊断特征的插图，并为主要物种群体提供识别键，并向主要物种群体产生识别键，以及3）产生一种动态依据，并在线上逐渐识别依据，并将其定义为未来的依据。反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来评估值得支持。
