Description: A report is made of detailed studies carried out on 105 native grassland and abandoned field sites. Measurements of vegetational changes over a 10-year period on one area and field experiments on grasshopper movement involving marked individuals are also reported. The results of the investigations are discussed and evaluated in terms of field observations on grasshopper behavior. Both the taxonomic composition and physical structure of the vegetation are found to play an important role in the selection of areas of occupancy by grasshoppers. There is no evidence to suggest that changes in vegetation are directly responsible for initial fluctuations in population density.
