A Preliminary Checklist of Acrididae (Insecta: Orthoptera) fauna from Garbhanga Reserve Forest, Assam
View through CrossRef
The family Acrididae (Orthoptera: Acridoidea) comprises ecologically significant grasshoppers that play vital roles in nutrient cycling, herbivory, and food web dynamics. However, their diversity remains insufficiently documented across many protected and semi protected forest habitats of Assam. This study provides the first preliminary inventory of Acrididae from the Garbhanga Reserve Forest, part of the ecologically important Rani–Garbhanga landscape in Assam. A total of 17 species, representing 13 genera and seven subfamilies, are recorded for the first time from this reserve. The findings offer essential baseline data to support future taxonomic studies, biodiversity monitoring, and conservation planning within this rapidly changing landscape.
